Three spawns in two days?!! Wow!

Jeanne

Three inches at most.

One other option I'm considering is adding an airstone to the egg catcher box.
Cheers, Eric

Eric are you having trouble feeding I think you said you were concerned about the microworms going thru the mesh bottom. Jeanne Hi Jeanne, Yes they do slip through the screen. I still feed live microworms but I drop them on top of the leaves in the ring, hoping to delay the loss of worms, and I als...

Impressive!

Cheers, Eric

Here's a video of all the fry from the last two spawns. Enjoy.

Cheers, Eric

Direct link: Lots of baby Amblydoras nauticus!

Very nice hatch of last two spawns (28 May and 30 May). At least 125 fry, maybe 135, swimming here.

Video soon.

Jeanne

No never before. This is a new experiment for me.

Cheers, Eric

Awesome!

Again, ugh. No eggs hatched.

Here's one of my largest (but not the largest) Rio Itaya Rineloricaria lanceolata fry. 20230602_142243~2.jpg 20230602_142343~2.jpg They've been growing in a 60 gallon tank in a greenhouse since mid-April. This F1 specimen is just over 3 months old (three months and one week old), 53mm SL (nearly 70m...

Looking more into Rineloricaria heteroptera (or maybe a R. cf. heteroptera look-alike), I found these photos on the Aquarium Glaser website . Keep in mind a few things: Your fish doesn't look exactly like the Aquarium Glaser photos. Aquarium Glaser doesn't always have its ID right either. If your fi...

Still looks like Rineloricaria to me, but which one I have no further clue.

Beautiful fish!

I think not. Both GBIF and SpeciesLink show no reports in Venezuela.

Cheers, Eric

ADMIN note: Since this post and the previous five posts are about the Microglanis aff. poecilus eggs (not Amblydoras eggs), I'm moving these posts to the Microglanis aff. poecilus spawning thread. Yes but I believe you will have success if you can get them to spawn in the syno breeder you added to ...

sturiosoma wrote: ↑01 Jun 2023, 15:46 I think that the poor hatch rate is due to poor fertilization, in nature egg scatters spawn in very shallow water to concentrate the fertilization process.

Jeanne

"Poor hatch rate" is an understatement... It's zero for the Microglanis.

Eric

Here are the registered collections of Corydoras(ln9) brevirostris at GBIF.org and specieslink.net. Clearly, the GBIF data includes some far-flung entries. I suspect some of these are misidentified.

Cheers, Eric

Eric, Two things: Reading up on raising rarer tetra spawns (also egg scatterers) I have come across two pieces of information that you might want to experiment with. Light sensitivity is a well known issue with tetra eggs and newly hatched fry. We don't talk about light sensitivity much with catfis...

According to GBIF.org, Corydoras(ln9) melini and Corydoras(ln9) melanistius have been collected in the area of Mitú.

Cheers, Eric

A similar fish that can have spotting on its head (although not so well defined) is Rineloricaria heteroptera . For example, take a look at this photo: https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/image.php?species=rineloricaria_heteroptera&image_id=22299 The distribution would not be right if your fish...

The eggs from the May 28 spawn have started hatching in the German Breeder Ring. Fingers crossed!

Wonderful Jeanne. These fish are breeding machines!

Cheers, Eric

HI Eric, Thank you for the continued information, but more importantly for me, the inspiration to try breeding fish that others have not done so before. There are lots of fish that I would like to try and you show that it is possible with the right care, perseverance and ingenuity. Thanks You're we...

Awesome! Congratulations Eric, keep up the good work and thank you for all the pictures and info! Would love to try some myself someday. Take care, Chuck Thanks Chuck. I'm sure you would succeed.

Another Amblydoras nauticus spawn (SPAWN #5) overnight. This one was pretty big. I collected 111 eggs, five on the spawning mop and the rest trapped in the egg crate false floor. Only two of the eggs I collected looked bad at the time I collected them. I will be curious to see how many spoil in the ...
