Is it worth adding an extra category to the "Further spawns" in BLOGs?
Hi Jools, As I record data for repeat spawns, one thing that changes (usually growing or stabilizing at a higher number after initial spawns) is the egg count. Would it be worth or practical to add egg count/clutch size to the Further spawns category? I've prepared a graphic for what it might look l...

Re: Amblydoras nauticus spawned
Impatient as I am (I blame ADD), I harvested the eggs tonight. I collected 173 good eggs, 3 bad eggs, and 32 more hatched fry from last week's spawn. About 1/4 of the eggs and fry washed out from multiple rinses through the terra cotta pot. Reflecting back on the last spawn being only 130 or so eggs...

Re: Amblydoras nauticus spawned
Another Amblydoras nauticus spawn overnight, 18 April. Will collect the eggs tomorrow. That's only 5 or 6 days since the last spawn! I also managed to siphon out about 5 hatchlings this morning from the parents' tank and add them to the hatchling tank. Over in the hatchling tank, the older babies ar...

Re: Amblydoras nauticus spawned
I had another spawn this last weekend while I was away at the SAKE event in Phoenix, Arizona. I found the eggs Sunday afternoon but didn't collect them until this morning. The eggs weren't there Friday morning, so they were laid on the eve of 12 April or 13 April. I collected 134 good eggs, 31 eggs ...

Re: Perpetually soft water... a blessing or a curse?
My L397 breed year round, but they are definitely seasonal in terms of the intensity of breeding. I get more spawns in mid to late summer than I do from October - March.
Your water parameters sound wonderful! What's your pH?

Eric

Re: L134 sick?
Others will be able to add better info, but L052 is noticeably 'flatter' and not as full-bodied; the eyes are larger (in comparison to the head) and located closer to the top of the skull, fin shapes and placement are slightly different, and as you noted the pattern is much more "muted", ...

Just got home late Sunday from the Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies-NEC annual convention. Didn't buy any fish this weekend, but I did come home to find eggs in the Auchenipterichthys coracoideus tank. So they spawned either Friday, Saturday or Sunday, probably not Sunday since the eggs don't...

Re: Amblydoras nauticus spawned
I was sick last week and mostly neglected my fish. This morning I discovered hatched Amblydoras nauticus loose in the parents' tank. It will be difficult to collect them now that they are free swimming. Given today's date, I'd estimate the spawn was around 29 March.

Re: Corydoras breeding tank size
Is it possible to breed an average size corydoras, around 5cm, in a 35x25x20cm aquarium? In the USA, that's just a little smaller than a 5 gallon aquarium. In my opinion (and it is just that - an opinion), I would say that if you're being thoughtful about the social welfare of your fish (that is, k...

Huh, that's pretty interesting... Are the eggs and fry proportionally smaller, and do they have decent hatch rates (if they hatch at all)? I still can't get over how small these guys are; would make for a great pleco for a smaller tank, if it was merely a harmless genetic mutation (which I'm guessi...
