Hey guys I have a breeding group of sterbai cories which breed on a regular basis but they only lay at most 50 or so eggs. I do not know if it is just that the female is older or is not being conditioned long enough. I may only have one female possibly two. What can I do to increase egg productivity...

I would have a large sandy area in the front of the tank and keep a breeding colony of corydoras such as sterbai and do a nice school of tetras or barbs as you suggested. Good luck.

This is a very cool tank and the fish you have are so interesting. Have you tried to add almond leaves? I have heard that the use of these with fry such as yours helps them move on to other foods because the leaves produce inforusia.

What do you think that the price for the honeycombs will be

Hey again I know I have asked this question before but this is to make sure this sounds like it would work.

Do you have to pay to go, also do they sell all kinds of catfish

Well I am going to use a tank divider, but is there a species that would work instead?

Also what should the water par...

Hello I was wondering whether I could instead of buying expensive aquarium lights could I use flourescent lighting from a Home depot for a 36" aquarium. Any Answers will be appreciated.

The reason for the seperater is that people I ask say that you should condition them seperatly. Also are sterbai fun to breed and are they hard. Also I have a aquaclear 30 on the tank with a sponge on the intake is it okay to use it during the spawning.
Thanks
