Hatching Corydoras Eggs + New RARE Fish
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video we follow up on a new method of hatching Corydoras eggs that I spoke about in my previous TH-cam video. We then check out the results to see how well it worked. I also share a new species of Corydoras that has been added to my fish room.
If you are working with some of the entry level Corydoras like the C. Paleatus, Bronze Cory, Green Cory, etc, you will likely have decent success using ANY of the hatching methods mentioned in this video. I am working with a few Corydoras species that can be more sensitive, and needed to experiment to find a method that yielded better hatching results. I also keep a couple easier species like the Orange Venezuelan Corydoras. These still hatch at high rates, without issue, inside the Marina style fry box. Even with all this said, something has been different this year. Thanks for watching!

If you are working with some of the entry level Corydoras like the C. Paleatus, Bronze Cory, Green Cory, etc, you will likely have decent success using ANY of the hatching methods mentioned in this video. Those methods have worked well for me in the past. However, something is different this year and yields have been terrible. Because I am working with a few Corydoras species that can be more sensitive, I needed to experiment and find a method that had better hatching results. So far it’s working well. Do I recommend you try this method? NO! Unless you are also struggling with hatch rates. Thanks for watching!
I have 6 albino Cory's & they have been having eggs everywhere
I would like to try & see if I could hatch the NEW 1's they just had
I have a small shoe size tote & a jar like you just showed, I also
have a 10 gal tank I have had running for 2-3 wks now with a small
canister filter on it, so I'm wondering which would be the best to use
& does it have to have a heater in what I put them in to survive & hatch ?
The Ziss egg tumbler can be purchased from Kens Fish. Ian Fuller's article is in the description. Thanks for watching. 👍
Tumblers for the win! Thanks for the thoughtful video.
Glad to see you're having success. I used to use the breeder boxes with an additional airstone to hatch pleco eggs whenever a clutch would get kicked out of cave. With the airstone hovering over the egg clutch. I think next time I am gonna try hooking some little 60gph powerheads to the intake for better flow.
Great video. Awesome information. Thanks for sharing.
Great vid, fantastic content mate!
Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
Thanks for the information! I think your conclusions regarding cleanliness and flow rate make perfect sense.
Amazing video!! Just subbed as well!👍👍
Thanks
Thanks for showing all of these different solutions. I have only recently tried to hatch the eggs and it helps.
This video was very informative. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Tom, where do you get the nice flat, smooth pieces of slate you have in your pleco tanks? Thanks!
6x18”(?) slate tiles from Menards. Don’t believe they still sell them. Home Depot sells a larger tile, but it needs to be cut. Very inexpensive.
Really good videos! I'm curious to know if any of your videos specify your water parameters? temp, pH, TDS, Nitrate etc?
Great video Keep up the great work....
I like seeing your fish on the MN Aquarium Society auctions.
Thanks. Didn’t have too much in the recent auction. Most the items I did have listed were my brothers fish.
Great video as always
Thanks
Great video!! Just subbed!!👍👍
Glad your back making vids
Thanks
My tank is thriving all but my false juliis. If you deal with them at all, do u find any issues with survival rate?
Great video Tom, I'm going to pick up some of those egg tumblers to have on hand and be ready for the next time I get some eggs. I'd like to really give it a try. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.
🐠🐟🐠🐟 I have some of the black Cory's, great little fish.
Can I keep newly hatched corydora fry in treated water instead if parents tank water?
Thanks for sharing. How hard did you find it to get the Cory eggs into the Ziss tumbler. They are quite sticky as you know.
Not difficult at all. If you let them sit a bit before picking, even overnight, they lose most of their adhesiveness.
Great info! Love the fish I've gotten from you and your brother via the club auction. :)
Glad to hear. Reach out directly if you’re ever interested in more, or a different species.
@@TMAquatics Thank you! I will.
So interesting, such an informative video. I'm going to try some of your ideas. Thank you
Let me know how it works.
Congrats on all the breeding man! 🙌
The orange lasers I purchase from you just spawned another batch of eggs. I am going to be away on vacation for two weeks so I left the eggs in the tanks. I have 30 or so fish that hatched and grew in the very well planted 40 gal breeder so hopefully some of those eggs will hatch, survive and grow(only ancistrus and laser cories in the tank). Just discovered Kens fish and fortunately they are only 30 minutes away.
Thanks
Nice
Congrats!!!! Looks great!!
Thanks
I am using the lg. hang on the side specimen container. 50% tap water and 50% tank with airstone and one drop of methalene blue. C. Claudimaculatus and venezualian's. High hatch rate.Thank You for doing the video.
Great video tom i struggle myself trying to hatch our duplicareus eggs. I will give your method a go. Thanks for sharing
Let me know. Just make sure the eggs are only gently moving in the tumblers. Have had more good hatches since this video was made. It seems to be working…..for now.
Great video Tom 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Have you try using methyline blue for the eggs?
Yep. I mention this in the video. Never had much luck with it to be honest.
Tom where did you get that floating German fry circular box??? Great video 👀👍🏽✌🏽
Swiss Tropicals
@@TMAquatics thank you
Love your videos and ur breeding projects
After the eggs hatch- do you put them in similar water parameters that the parents are in? OR keep them in the RO and 20% tap? 🙏👍
I’m putting the fry in RO/tap. It seems to be working well. More good hatches since this video was made. Hardly any die off of the fry.
Hey Tom as always the fish room looks great! A few years back I saw some of these Corydoras Schultzei Black at a LFS, not in a display tank, but tucked away in a corner and at the time they wouldn't sell them. I was a little miffed... why have them out if you are not going to sell them? I got over it 🙃 and got some orange lasers for my daughter's tank. Thanks
Orange lasers are gorgeous (if they’re out). They can be a shy Corydoras. My breeding group is always hiding.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I have had problems so I am going to give the Ziss egg tumbler a try! I have used the Ziss successfully with pleco eggs
Just be careful and reduce the flow so the eggs are just being slightly rolled or pushed up the side of the tumbler a bit. Reduce even further as they hatch. The fry cannot handle being bounced around. They can also exhaust themselves quickly if they have to swim against a flow.
I have accidentally bred panda corydoras recently. Here to learn what I did so I can do it again!
Hello, I have been having problems with breeding adolfoi Corys for about a year now. There has been a 9/10 month 0 breeding activity period and now I’m having 15 to 25 eggs per week but I only have less than 10% hatch rate. Then after they hatch they go through the egg sack stage and after they eat on the third day and the morning of the fourth day they die. I have bred Corys before (the more common types) and I have been using the same method for all of them and I had way better results. Can anybody please help?
Thank you
Great opener to a very important topic.
Best wishes to Yuri an all the people in the Ukraine 🇺🇦
I’m worried for Yuri and his family. I suspect his impressive collection or rare plecos is also a complete loss at this point. Very sad.
CORYSSSSS!!! *Love*
My black corys just laid today!! Counted 51 eggs, so far no white ones yet so im guessing they're fresh
Nice 👍
👍🏻👍🏻
I wasn’t having any luck with methylene blue. I cut up a Catappa leaf and put the pieces, some moss, and a few cherry shrimp in my Ziss tumbler. I’m very new to breeding Corydoras, but I would say I got at least 50% to hatch. The shrimp help me gauge the amount of air to run in the tumbler. My Corydoras Schultzei are fat and HUGE, but I haven’t seen any eggs.
Nice.
Whenever I use a hang on breeder box either for eggs or raising fry (granted Ive been raising L066, Rineloricaria eigenmanni and Duringlanis perugiae not Corydoras) I take off the air line and the base of the lift tube and attach a small powerheard Instead. It solves the flow problem, the only issue can be the flow being too strong (but there are a few solutions to this)
Additionally, you can run multiple fry boxes off of one power head using a bit of flexi tubing, a splitter and valves.
You do need to be more diligent with cleaning the outlet of the fry box itself though due to the increased flow actually circulating the water much better. But that is also down to how fine a grate you use on the outlet based on how small the fry are. But if you forget to clean it and it clogs the box can overflow releasing the fry into the tank.
I think eventually I'd like to make a custom fry box of some kind with a larger outlet area to reduce the clogging/overflow risk
I never thought of using a power head, but I can see how this could work. Thanks for sharing the idea.
Great content. Very interesting to see various ways of hatching.
I get good success just with aquarium water and methylene blue 🙂
I’m starting to think maybe something was in my city water supply. Never had problems with cry eggs in the past, but this year it’s been a struggle. 🤷♂️
Where can we find a place to purchase your corydoras, if you have any available for sale?
Get Gills marketplace. My store is closed until I start shipping. Should be open in 2-3 weeks if it warms up here in MN.
@@TMAquatics okay great!
@@TMAquatics any chance you do anything special for locals and avoid shipping?
Great video as always. Thanks for supporting ukraine, left ukraine and left my tanks as I was just planning a short trip to moldova and planned to return in 4 days. Than the war started and could not return.i am Dutch. Just bought some corydoras schultzei black and hope they are OK. They are quite cheap in ukraine, a bit over 1.5 usd. I hope to return but am afraid what I will find.
I would love to one day own some of your duplicareus. They are my dream corys.
and those CW049s are BEAUTIFUL
Since this video was made I pulled another spawn of around 25. They were all fertile and started hatching yesterday.
@@TMAquatics that’s great to hear!
I love the Ziss egg tumblers. I'm no breeder and I was able to successfully hatch albino corydoras using one.
Nice. They seem to be working well as long as the flow is not too high.
The cw049 every time i remove the eggs i have none hatching but if i leave the eggs i get a small hatching 2/3
Nice. I have the exact opposite results. Not sure why it is as most people hatch in tank water.
i have been using the ziss tumblers on my venezuela sp orange since they starterted spawning for me about a year or so ago works like a charm
Nice to hear someone else has used method this with success. Thanks for sharing.
@@TMAquatics im excited i spawned a new species of pleco L387
I was hatching about 200 zebra danio eggs and used a heater that had cory eggs on it by accident, a week and half later all the danio fry was gone and the cory's were huge.
Oh, that’s a bummer. Guessing the corys didn’t mind though.
Доброго времени суток.классно много аквариумов!💥🙋🏼♂️✍️✍️✍️🤝👍🔔
Hey Tom, I have a supplier selling their last 10 albino CW010 corys if you’re interested? He is in NYC and these are quite rare.
Yuri looks a little like Sheldon
yuri looks like Sheldon in his 40s
As soon as I heard "egg tumblers" and Corydoras in the same sentence I face-palmed and moved on. WHY do people think they can improve on tried-and-true known to be successful techniques with stupid, unnecessary and expensive gadgets??? Any floating or hang on breeder box (even Tupperware) an air stone and 2ppm Methylene blue and your results will be spectacular. 5% is abysmal!! First food? Infusoria sucked out of a well-seasoned sponge filter, then brine shrimp napoli (before first napoli molt). NO COST, and 90% or better success. Any other way is stupid and wrong and will give inferior results. Period. STOP re-inventing the wheel for God's sake!!!!
