sterbai

Post by wet-handed »

I have recently bought 6 sterbai for $7.00 each. I have never tried breeding corys, an I will be housing them in a 50gallon breeder tank with 4 2 1/2" Hypan.Contradens with a tds of 150-200. Is this going to work out. Any advice from my friends here at PC will be greatly appreciated thankyou.

when i thought mine were old enough, i moved them to a bare 15 gallon alone and they spawned in about a week. they were bought and put in a community tank about 6-8 months ago. they were only 3/4 inch then. i fed live live black worms and changed 30% of the water maybe 3 times in 7 days. straight tap about 72 .the tank water was about 80. declor is the only additive.

Congrats! Could you tell that some were gravid before you moved them? How many in your group were there? Mine are 1/2-3/4 inch now. Thank you for your response it was informative. How would you rate your tap soft, moderate, hard? Again TY.
