14. How to hatch Cory Catfish Eggs! 58 10

Coridoras 11 years ago 29,462 views

I did a quick Monday video since I had my phone handy and noticed new Cory eggs on the glass. Cory cats will lay eggs in random locations. Usually aquarium glass, tank ornaments of even on plants. The key is to get them out as soon as you are them and get them into a tumbler because the adult fish will egg them! I just use a cup of ages aquarium water with an open end air line and some methylene blue. Once I see the eggs getting closer to free wiggling, I reduce the methylene bike to almost non-existent with a 95% water change in the cup. Once hatched Cory cats will feed off their egg sac attached for two days or so and then you will have to feed them. Micro worms and spruilina powder are good choices. Good luck! Hope this helps. Please leave comments if you so choose.

can you do it without the methyl blue? and how common is it for corys to eat their own babies if I wanted to hatch them in a community tank?

I did!

I got eggs yesterday. I wasn't even considering breeding them, they only moved into my big tank a month or 2 ago! I think I'll move the babies into my guppy tank so they'll be safe. How quick do they grow? I'm pretty sure mum is my huge bronze girl, anyone's guess as to who the dad is!

Congratulations!

the only thing that would have made this better for me was to observe your removing the eggs. this is where I continue to have difficulty in being successful.

FinsNthings - 7 years ago

Thank you @Kyleene. I will do a video for you on that.

This didn't work for me but I didn't have any of the blue stuff and it was hard to get them off glass

FinsNthings - 7 years ago

Razor Blade is the easiest way to get them off the glass.

Kay Cresswell - 9 years ago

What if you don't have that blue stuff

FinsNthings - 7 years ago

The "blue stuff" is methylene blue. Its what prevent fungus from taking over your eggs.

So informative. Your video had the exact information I was looking for. I have seen the spots on the tank glass, like you show in your video, but at the time, I thought is was food. Luckily, one of the spots managed to hide somewhere, and hatch one baby emerald cat fish. I am thrilled. I will do better next time. I have seen the spots several times.

That's awesome Carmela. Please share your success. Increase your chance of survival with microworms.

Is it possible that an adult algae eater will eat the eggs? I have a fish tank with an algae and two albino Cory catfish, and the eggs have already been there a couple days.

FinsNthings - 7 years ago

What kind of Algae Eater @Kit Kate?

Callum Earnshaw - 11 years ago

Do u have to use methaline blue ????

FinsNthings - 7 years ago

You don't have to, but it increases your success. Methylene blue is what prevents fungus from taking over your eggs.
