So your corydoras spawned? My detailed process from eggs to fry

- This is a pretty detailed rundown of how I handle corydoras spawns once the eggs have been laid. I use this same process for the 30+ species I'm currently breeding and it will work for pretty much any species.
Thanks, this was really good. I managed to get maybe 6 albino cory eggs before the fish ate them this weekend, and I was not set up for it! The visuals with this are very helpful.
Thanks Mitchel
Why does he sound like Alex Jones to me bro😂👍🏻
Thanks for sharing Mitchell. I love the set up!
Thanks
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻 Its helpful to see how other Cory Breeders are successful. Alder Cones are a great idea.
This is great everyone does it in a similar way but there are little twists in everyone's methods.
Great ideas and advice. Thanks!
Nice video!
Thanks for sharing this!!😊
Such amazing info -- thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your deep knowledge and insight!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing! Those rearing cups look good and are a nice volume
Yeah, this is like the 8th iteration of them over the past 4+ years. I think I have finally settled on a wining design.
Appreciate you putting in the work and showing the results. Saw that you might make them available down the road. That would be great!
Helped a lot ❤
very interesting, thanks!
Hi there,
Great content, I was just wondering what the mop is you used, it looks quite different very fine?

👍🏻👍🏻
Wao You Amazing My Friend 👍
Thanks!
Do you get better results by removing the eggs from the mops versus just moving the mop to a new tank or holding cup and leaving them on the mop?
I 'feel' like I get better results. With corys, the mop spawners don't really produce many eggs at a time. A pretty good size spawn will be maybe 40 eggs, unlike rainbowfish that will give you 200+. So with the rarity of the ones I keep, I don't want something like an unfertilized egg getting fungus and spreading out to other eggs. MB or alder cones or the like will only be able to help so much in that case. So I would at least pick out the obvious bad ones if I were to leave them in the mop.
Thanks Mitchell. What do you concider aged water? 72- 96 tap water without any dechlorinator?
The aging I'm referring to is when you allow tap water to sit for a day or two with an air stone so the ph will stabilize. In my area, the ph right out of the tap is around 7, but once it's stabilized, it sits at about 6.2/6.3. So I have a couple of containers that hold the same kind of water I would use for a regular water change, but it just sits there in the fish room along with an air stone and a bit of crushed coral (to give it a buffer). That's the water I use so I don't deal with things like the ph swing from tap water to tank water.
where do you get the rearing box? i like yours
The floating cup thingies? I make them myself.
What sand are u using in those tanks and where did you get it thanks.
I used pool filter sand from home depot. The brand is Quikrete. I like pool filter sand over many other types because the grain size is a bit larger so it doesn't really fly all around in the current like really fine sand.
Where do you find the holding cups you use?
Are you referring to the ones I hatch the eggs in? If so, they are 32oz paint mixing cups. If your referring to the ones that float in a take, I make those myself.
Where do you get the tank in rearing cups?
I actually make them myself. They are my take on a german breeding ring.
Where can I purchase rearing cups like yours?
They are actually something I make for myself. I have had enough interested in them recently that I'm in the process of attempting to produce them for sale, but it will be a few more months still.
I would love to see how you made the rearing cups.
Can I just remove the adults? If they make it to fry stage, what then? I have two albino and one brown. Some eggs are on leaves and still there and it’s been at least 3 days. But the adults are still spawning.
Sure, if you have some other place for the adults, you can just remove them. Depending on where they spawned, you might want to add an air stone near it so get some extra current to keep water moving across them to help decrease the chance of them fungusing. It can be a bit different per species and water temperature, but you will generally have them hatch in about 4-5 days. If the tank is well established and nothing else is in it that might eat them, the fry should be ok on their own. It would be good to feed them some tiny foods, but they will be able to graze off of the assorted things naturally living in an established tank.
