Raising Cory sterbai fry

Post by DelawareJim »

Anyone have any experience raising Cory. sterbai fry in a community tank?

I have two pairs of sterbai laying eggs all over the tank. Inhabitants are 9 sterbai and about 30 Tanichthys micagemmae in a moderately planted 110. So far the Tanichthys are not interested, but I fear that's just a matter of time.

Cheers.

Very little chance of survival in the community tank.
The sterbai themselves are probably the biggest threat for the fry if they get get as far as to hatch ...

I usually remove my Cory eggs to either a breeder net.....or another tank. You can handle the eggs a short while after they've been laid. I just pick them off the glass with my fingers.
