Corydoras duplicareus

Post by Piotr »

Hi!

I am Piotr (Peter) from Poznań (Poland Euro 2012 city). One year ago i bought group of 12 young corydoras duplicareus. From 7-8 weeks young female give eggs - but not one later are fry. What it's problem? Too young males?
Sorry for my English.

Could be the males aren't sexually mature or the water is not correct for the baby cories to survive. Do the eggs just get eaten or get moldy then eaten?

It sounds like the eggs were not fertile. Hopefully you will have better success in the future.

I always have the best results hatching Duplicareus by placing the eggs in a bowl on the cool concrete basement floor with an Alder Cone and an air stone and shading it to keep it dark. Some cory eggs just hatch better if kept on the cool side.
Good fish are spawned and raised in Burlington.
