Corydoras caudimaculatus spawning video

Post by tjudy »

I have been conditioning a group of C. caudimaculatus for a few months, and was rewarded today with a lot of spawning. I was able to get some video. It is the current post in my blog: www.tedsfishroom.com

The eggs hatched yesterday. Looks like about a 90% hatch rate...

I have at least 100 fry that are now eating. Small fry compared to C. duplicareus. I have received some advice to keep them in RO water and very acid. Currently they are still in their hatching cup (a liter beaker with a bubbler). I use RO water and put a layer of long-fiber sphagnum moss for them to hide in, which also lowers the pH a bit. I am wondering how soon to move them to their first rearing tank (a 2.5 gallon). Usually I wait about 3 days after the fry start eating, but they are smaller than the cories I have raised before.
