Eggs

We're having very HOT weather here now...maybe just a cool down WC or 2? Yeah, I know you live far away from me...Rain or storms on the horizon? You know they can help get them in the mood!

Are your fake plants "silk" or plastic? I have some ancient plastic 1s that seem too scratchy, but corys are "armored", maybe they don't mind?
Theyre plastic, but they don't mind. I went with these as ive got no light on their tote.

However today, they've started chasing the female around, which is a very good sign. Just had a major cold front move through last night too.

 
Well, I finally saw some chasing of the busy female swimming all around. Are those 2 different males? That would be good!

I've held onto some plastic plants...goodness knows why, for many years (35+), lol. I almost always go with live plants these days if I possibly can, I have lots!

Again, go NC!! We want to see weitzmanii eggs & fry!!

Ive got 4 individuals, 1 for sure female, 2 for sure males. Not 100% on the younger one, but likely male. But the 2 chasing the female were males. I know I'm keeping a couple for myself if they breed successfully.

I was going to ask you to circle the fry & then I saw 1!! Maybe you're training my spotting abilities with all you tiny fry pics, lol.

Thanks for the video! How many eggs this time? Maybe you said but I never turn on the sound...
 
I dont talk in my videos. It was just music background so you didn't miss anything!

I collected about 18 eggs total.

More development to hatch, but ive got still the 2 fry from the first batch, but im thinking they were from an older batch of eggs i missed because the first eggs I collected are just now showing embryos inside!

Theyre eating well, but temperature is finicky this week. Lost a couple before putting my heater in.

We're kind of on the cusp of temp changes in many places, still hot or dropping a lot...or in my case , both, with hazy smoky skies (cough).

Cute aeneus fry! The weitzmanii eggs look almost ready don't they? Even I can tell!

I'm glad you don't talk through your vids but I may need to check out the music 1 of these days...when my husband isn't watching news or sports...
