C.longipinnis Fry

Post by bronzefry »

I haven't had a new Corydoras spp. breed in a long time. The C.longipinnis group I bought a little more than a year ago got busy last Monday and laid about 20 or so eggs. About half were on the glass near the top of the tank. The other half were on leaves near the top. The Ancistrus sp. in the tank had bred the previous month and a brood of 50 was swimming around in this 55 gallon tank. After I removed most of the Ancistrus fry(so I thought) and did a 50% water change, the C.longipinnis bred(and the male Ancistrus is back in the cave). I moved the eggs to a 10 gallon tank, where they started hatching this morning. Wish me luck. (I'll try to get some non-blurry pics soon. Everything I've taken so far is awful.) :D Amanda

Thanks, Mats. They're so hard to photograph when they're so tiny and move so fast. The yolk sacs are still there. Too soon to feed. They've all hatched now.
