    Fresh Cory eggs in a tote I set up during the week end. I didn’t think much of it at the time… tho the ~50 eggs are a bonus!

    I put mine in a small tote to spawn at room temperature. If they’re well fed I tend to get 50 ish eggs within 2 days or so.

    They’ve got so many cool tetras I can’t find on this side of the Atlantic!

    @CJs Aquatics has been wondering about passive breeding of these guys.

    I just squeeze the bad a couple of times in the tank (bearing in mind that I’m using a 5 gallon tank). I’m more looking to bring water hardness down from sky high 16 degrees. Temps around 26 degrees Celsius (I think that’s 76 Fahrenheit?) because I remember that Rosario LaCorte mentioned how the Amazon gets hotter during the rainy/spawning season. Blueberry tetras are some of my favorite fish by far. If you scale this system up a bit by keeping the peat in there a couple of days pre spawning I expect you should be able to get similar results to mine. I’ve only used this technique with Glowlight tetras, but theoretically it should work with any tetra within the same geographic range.

    I’m finding it really cool how you’re able to give your 40g a certain visual depth.

    Picture taken with my phone on full zoom and through a magnifying glass: There’s also ca. 30 in the spawning tank. I’m starting to get a bit nervous about these guys. Hopefully they’ll take sera micron 🤞.

    A combo of peat, rainwater, and livefoods @Opie. Fry on day 2:
  9. TheSwissAquarist
    The fry are similar in size to betta fry - tiny! @Lowells Fish Lab did a great video on these guys :

    The german version of Amazonas mentioned using plastic plants to camouflage the live ones until the live ones are well established.

    Talking about swaps, do you have any tips for them @Guppysnail? My clubs organizing one soon and (seeing as I haven’t got any sellable size fish) the club treasurer has asked me to help out at her table.

    One fun snail for you could be Sulawesi yellow snails. I’ve heard from a fish club member that they outcompete pest snails for food, as well as being slow to reproduce.

    @Colu I’m just thinking why the hell you’d put goat médecine in an aquarium when there’s some perfectly good fish meds around. 😶
  15. TheSwissAquarist
    Yes I farm dirt. Don’t you?

    Snails are like colds , they turn up out of nowhere. Looks like a ramshorn snail to me.
  17. TheSwissAquarist
    Which tank are they going in?
  18. TheSwissAquarist
    Peat is the most important thing, with rainwater a close second if you’ve got hard water like me. I put some peat in a filter media bag (unfertilized peat), squish it a couple of times in the tank and leave it in the dark for a couple of days to kill off anything that could go for the eggs. I’ve managed to do Glowlights like this, and I might give my neons and black phantoms a shot.
  19. TheSwissAquarist
    Aquabid is probably a better way to find a vendor near you imo.
  20. TheSwissAquarist
    Do you have any pictures? Longer fins are a usual giveaway, as are masks.
  21. TheSwissAquarist
    I’d sprinkle it if you were feeding very small fry or grazers (shrimp or Hillstreams).
  22. TheSwissAquarist
    It’s impossible to get it all out, apart from with silver dollars. Tbh I’m surprised this tank isn’t taking pride of place in your living room!

    My obsession before fish was reptiles 😍
  24. TheSwissAquarist
    What fish did you get? 😄

    Ha! Ancient days of history.
