Brreding Cory's

[ForumMemberX]

Has anyone had any luck? I also want to put my 5 inch clown loaches in with my baby bristlenoses. Do you think they will eat them?

How small are your bristlenose babies? My fist lot of baby bristlenoses were almost all eaten by my 3 inch clowns not long after birth, in fact thats how i knew i had babies, there was absolute mayhem in the tank!
I would separate them if i could.

Test and see with one then decide!

I'm confused...
Are you asking for advice on how to breed corydoras, or is this meant to be a discussion about raising bristle nose?

I haven't bred cories myself, but I know several people who have. Their trick is to make sure the tank has heaps of hiding places so they feel safe, make sure pH and hardness and all that is exactly right, then do big water changes with cold water. It makes them think they're going into the rainy season, which is when they normally breed in the wild.

Confused aswell...:confused:

What? It confuses everyone when someone asks more than one question in their post? I don't find it confusing at all. There are 2 seperate questions, I answered the first one.

by now they will all be eaten or large enough not to have any problems....

My corys are spawning regularly. I have seen fry in the tank once - probably someones lunch ages ago. I am now trying to get them to lay on pieces of glass that I can transfer to the nursery tank. This has worked once successfully. Fry hatched but was dead within a day. Dunno why.

I am still trying. I now have 5 eggs in the nursery that look OK. Trying to keep to bloody snails outa there because I suspect they eat the cory eggs.

Time for a few Loaches! ;-)
