Eggs

So how are our favorite fry doing these days Noodle?

My aeneus keep laying infertile eggs, I think I have 2 males & 3 females, both on the filter return glass & a more sheltered place. Whatever...it's just for fun.

Ive tried everything so far with the weitzmani eggs and no good. Im giving the parents a break back in the community tank. Maybe next time I will try RO water. I have soft water, but perhaps super soft would give me better results with the fry.

My paleatus have spawned this week though and my aeneus have spawned another massive spawn today too.

Plus got the 16 older aeneus babies and a young pygmy fry too.

Pygmy cory fry on the leaf, gotta look close


The fry/egg nursery for the younger ones. Any that hatch are put into the mesh. Keeps the fry food contained for them. Airstone is attached through a hole in the container lid, so its not in the photo since it's open.

Thanks for the new pics, Noodle. I did find 1 pygmy fry but it was like playing where's Waldo, lol.

Theres only the one fry so far in the nursery.

The aeneus youngsters were moved to my 10g grow out

I'm happy I could only find 1 then, lol. I took off my glasses for "hunt the fry" without any improvements...past time for new glasses.

Got my first albino fry!
Theyre albino paleatus (peppered cory)
And some normal paleatus as well as more aeneus. Plus now trilineatus eggs.
Normal paleatus, very dark little guy


And one albino, got a good handful of albinos, im pretty excited about that



Mix of fry, there are 10 in this photo. The black and white striped one is the oldest, the pygmy cory youngster.
