Todd these guys are too small yet for microworms. I've discussed breeding them with one of the leading rare cory breeders in the US and he says I'm doing everything right, it's just very hard to keep them alive. I will say that at this point I'm suspecting they don't take well to any water changes. They spawn all the time and you can't see the fry in the tank since they slip down between the gravel most of the time. Water changes can be deadly to newly hatched fry. I lost the first two batches of plecos to water changes within the first week of hatching. But with plecos you know you have young, you can see them. And they're not hatching different days of the week every week. Take now for instance, I have fry that hatched out last week over a period of a couple of days, so I probably shouldn't do a water change. But in 3-4 more days, I'll have more hatched fry. And you can't gravel vac. It is very hard for me to keep a dirty tank. But that's what I may have to do. Slowly, one item by one item, i'm tweaking things.
