Not especially. More challenging than many of those that have been bred.

I got my hubby to catch all the babys and there are 8 of them, must have been more eggs on the java moss.
I got my hubby to put a pair of Cory caudimaculatus in with babys to show size difference.

Aren't they just the cutest little dickens? Perfect little replicas of the adults.

You are very welcome

At first they did not look like the adults, i thought they were peppered as we put some peppered eggs in the same tank, then the odd one started to get that black spot at the back end of the body

I didn't take much notice of them before that as i didn't think the eggs would have hatched, i wish i had now :roll:

Not sure if the female is their mother as i dont know which female spawned as we have 5 females and 3 males plus the baby's and adults have different tanks, my hubby just put them together for the picture.

My Corydoras caudimaculatus group spawn on a regular basis, but since they're in a community tank with lots of plants I've never taken on the task to pick out the eggs.
But they sure are a pretty specie! :D

Here's a pair of them in the classic Corydoras T-position :)
