Rahul Ramanujan - 7 years ago

I have lots of corydoras eggs which have hatched... But in about 1 week most of them are dieing... Please give ur valuable feedback as to what to feed them and what else needs to be done to keep them alive?

Hi, what's the temperature required to trigger them to breed?

Dylan Gibson - 8 years ago

i had never seen these kind of corys before. I've seen the albinos to the Sterbai to the Orange Lazor but never these beautiful rich black corys.

becksta29 - 8 years ago

+Dylan Gibson I am putting them in tank by them self anyways just I case they try and breed with any other species.

becksta29 - 8 years ago

+Dylan Gibson so are they same species as bronze?does that mean they can breed?

becksta29 - 8 years ago

+Dylan Gibson oh ok so the black corys I am buying are not the Peru ones then?i payed $30 each for them,they arrive next week...so excited to get them though as they are hard to get here in Aus so I have been told by few lfs.

Dylan Gibson - 8 years ago

+becksta29 You're definitely right. They are Venezuelaian, a member of the bronze Cory apparently...?

becksta29 - 8 years ago

+Dylan Gibson I just got some black corys on order yey they are due next week,they are black venuswalen lol sorry I don't know how to spell it I just got told that's what they are over phone so I have no idea how to spell yet.i don't think they are the same as the Peru one but they look the same as these guys.

Dylan Gibson - 8 years ago

Black Peru Corydoras, is what I believe they are. If my store ever sold them, i'd bag my curtent corys for a dozen of these guys.

becksta29 - 8 years ago

+Dylan Gibson same here,would love to get some.

what did you feed the Cory's for week 1 til their old?

gail LeDuc - 9 years ago

Can you leave them in the main tank if all you have is Corys in it?

Si - 9 years ago

Do the eggs need any special care like bubbles/water moving, light?

elyh777 - 9 years ago

Where is the "how to" part of the video? ie- sexing corys, water parameters, what special things do they need?

Ricky Kenerly Cichlids - 9 years ago

Even though this is an older video I see you still respond to comments! You have me as a subscriber! +PsychedelicBabe This is another great cory breeder!

Should we put the eggs in a different container

Eska's aquariums - 9 years ago

they will eat them, so yes ;)

yeah okay - 10 years ago

What is proper amount of time for when the fry go back in the original tank?

becksta29 - 8 years ago

+Eska's aquariums are these the Peru black cory?sorry if I missed it,I watched it few times and my memory is so bad and I don't recall any name o species.also are you still breeding these black corys?

Eska's aquariums - 9 years ago

when there are about 1,5 cm ;)

Alistair Fellowes - 10 years ago

What did you do with your 1000 corys afterwards? :)

becksta29 - 8 years ago

got 3 of them last week :)

Eska's aquariums - 8 years ago

They are Corydoras sp. black venezuela

becksta29 - 8 years ago

+Eska's aquariums what type are they if I was to orde3r them in?

becksta29 - 8 years ago

+Eska's aquariums which country do you live in?i would love a cory like yours,my pet shops in my town don't sell them.

Eska's aquariums - 10 years ago

sold them, or gave them away to aquarist friends :D

Michael Villegas - 10 years ago

What do you feed them

Eska's aquariums - 9 years ago

I give them artemia nauplii, living ;)

Dylan Howell - 10 years ago

I noticed my Peppered Cory's were mating a few months ago when I changed from artificial to real plants. I didn't think much of it at the time. That was until I found three baby Corys swimming around the base of one plant about 2 weeks ago. I noticed this morning more eggs on the glass. Whether it's because I took out the old plants because they were furry and replaced them with new ones a few days ago, I'm not sure. I haven't a clue what the PH is, I haven't tested it, but it must be fairly decent.

Dylan Howell - 8 years ago

+becksta29 I don't know what they were called. I just remember they had long leaves.

Cuties!!!

Rushy1989 - 10 years ago

I don't specifically wish to breed with Corydoras, but if you know of a video with advice on breeding them then let me know.

mjwarlock - 10 years ago

aim currently breeding them now they laying eggs all day 1000 of them
i can't really give you advice grabbed to corys and put them in a separate tank because other fish wil eat the eggs
you can tell the sexes by look at it the female is larger the the male als the female has an white sack on there bellies which grows a bit when its mating time but not that big .
i had to wait for 2 days . so in in order to breed them just put the male and female in 1 tank and wait you can try do the water chance method but i didn't and it worked

Deen Arcov - 11 years ago

Even when they are young, they're still cories on crack!

Mike Kollin - 10 years ago

Hahahaha… yeah!!!

TJ.Geckos - 11 years ago

Amazing!!!! I subed can you sub back?

Eska's aquariums - 11 years ago

thank you! just keep the eggs in an darker place, so they won't mould ;) you can add a cattapa leave ( almond) and give them everyday some fresh water out of the community tank. you can give them cyclops as frozen food, it's good for fry. Remove the food they don't eat, to keep good water parameters. Do not give them food tabs, until they're about 2 cm, otherwise the fry will eat themselves to death ;)

Eska's aquariums - 11 years ago

There is not much difference between tank raised or wildcaught Cory's breeding concerned. The only difference are the water parameters...with wild caught cory's you'll have to match the water parameters with those of their natural habitat. If the cory's lived in a PH 6,5, they will breed much more difficult in a PH of let's say 7 or 7,5. A tank raised cory, wich is adapted to f.e. PH 7 will breed in PH 7 even if the PH in his natural habitat was lower ;)

Mr2pac2000 - 11 years ago

thanks for the info.have you bred wild caught cory's? and are tank raised cory's easier to breed than wild caught? wondering if you have any experience on this subject.thanks again

Eska's aquariums - 11 years ago

The PH is 6,8..it depends on what Cory you're breeding with...some breed in lower PH, some in higher..they start to breed.when they're about a year...sometimes younger...important is that you have a bigger group ( 10 or more) and that you have 3 males for one female ;)

Mr2pac2000 - 11 years ago

thanks for the info.what about the ph? did you know the ph level at the time of spawning? at what age do cory's start to breed? thanks again

Eska's aquariums - 11 years ago

I lower the waterlevel about 50%...leave it like that for three days. In those days I feed them only with ( frozen) black mosquito larvae ( wich are very rich in protein). After three days I refill it through a spraybar ( so it looks like it's raining)...I use colder water...a few hours later, the spawning starts ;) I'ts a method I use, not thé method of course...

HOW DO YOU TRIGGER THEIR SPAWNING? DOES PH LEVEL MATTER, YOU DO WATER CHANGES?AND HOW MUCH COOLER,CAN YOU TELL ME YOUR METHODS IN DETAIL THAT YOU USED TO TRIGGER THEIR SPAWNING.THANKS

Eska's aquariums - 12 years ago

I change with water from the tank the parents are in..and a bit fresh water..I try to keep the same water parameters...If you change water with 'new' water, the fry could die of too much change in water parameters, especially Ph

Eska's aquariums - 12 years ago

Thx man! No I don't use medication : I put them in a seperate tank with water from the aquarium and air in it ( airpump). I change water daily.. I do use catappa leaves wich are very good for protection against mould. Also very important is to put them in a darker place (also to prevent mould) and of course when there are moulded eggs, I remove them, because they rapidly effect the 'good' eggs ;)
