Black Schultzei

[debbeesm23]

I am hoping someone that has successfully breed the Black Schultzie. We have had ours for almost a year and I have done everything I can think of to get them to spawn but no luck. Can anyone please give me some pointers on getting them to spawn. I would greatly appreciate any and all help I can get. Thanks!

I know Mark Walters (corywally) was breeding them and they are commonly bred. I think a matter of conditioning them well and a big water change to spawn.

Cheers

I have tried everything, I have artificial broad leaf plants in the tank, sand bottom, I feed frozen blood worms alternated with a special blend of pellets, I do at least a 50% cold water change, my corys are in a 10 gal tank, sponge filter. If there is anything I am not doing or doing wrong, please let me know. Thanks!

How long do you leave them before a water change?

usually a week but lately it has been everyday

Leave them for two or three weeks or longer. Try changing the big water change when the weather changes.

Feed live blackworms for about 4-5 days before a front. Then right before the weather front comes through do a big water change (50% or more). That usually works for me.
