Hey guys,

I have a 55gal with four small cory's and one large one. two gourmis, a molly, two platy's, a small frog (i don't think hes a dwarf :( so i might have to move him out of the tank soon) and a large pleco. About two weeks ago the first batch of cory eggs showed up. There were tons of them, but by the time i got them out of the tank only about 15 were left. I moved them to a breeder tank that i have set up and so far i see at least 4 fry wriggling around! My question is how often will the fish spawn? I just found another batch of them this morning.... I was able to pull around 20-25 out and put them in the breeder tank. i have fed the fry with a powder food. Am i doing everything correctly?

Thanks for your help,
Matt

From what I have noticed from my skunk cories is that they dont spawn where you can set your clock to, like guppies. There seems to be alot of wine and dinning going on but the males are getting the "Ill call you".

Alright, well hopefully they dont all hatch. I wont have enough room for them, and finding a home might be difficult!

Im not too sure what kind they are, they are light in color with some spotting/blotching. I will get a picture when im home from school. There are 8 fry swimming around so far, all about a week old, and 5 more eggs waiting to hatch from the second batch. Well see if they make it

Maybe Corydoras Paleatus.(Peppered Corys) If you check my pics you can see mine.
