Brochis Splendens Fry

Post by Casscats »

Recently raised up some brochis splendens fry, rather handsome little guys

They were a community spawn leaving me wondering if it were my corydoras eques, corydoras loxozonus, or brochis splendens and I did not know until the fry began growing a larger dorsal fin than normal corydoras fry.

Raised on microworms and powdered dry foods.

10 hatched from the small bit of eggs collected, and 6 have made it to larger size and they're now in the adult tank.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Too bad more people don't breed Brochis.

Cheers,
Eric

It's a shame, they're really lovely fish. Easily my 3rd favourite "cory" species to keep!
