But yes, if I was home to collect the eggs, I'd probably have dozens of babies by now. But mine lay, then eat the eggs all while I'm at work. I'm taking a 3 day weekend, so hopefully I catch some more! Beautiful tank! @Aiden Carter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I could raise up as many fry as these Corys want to produce, I'd run out of room quickly. Oh well, it's fun to get the couple I did get!

They’re supposed to be the easiest Cory species to breed and I’ve managed diddly squat in a species only tank…🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just found that Blood worms mess up their digestion. They often get sick if fed too much BW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for clarity: Blood Worms are different than Black Worms. Black Worms are an excellent source of fatty acids that fish need to develop roe / milt for spawning. Blood Worms are a different creature altogether. I feed frozen Blood Worms every day to my NANF, but I try to keep my Rams away from them. I've never fed live _Blood Worms_, only Black Worms. When Black Worms die, they immediately begin to breakdown. You're just asking for internal gut issues in your fish if you feed them lots of dead worms that haven't been frozen and sterilized (like Hikari, et al does). Once in awhile I'll order in Black Worms and they're dead. So expensive . . . makes me very upset, because it's basically $50-$100 down the drain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go by filtration, sure. The issue is that you're getting warnings about fish size vs tank size. Sometimes this matters because of aggression, but that's what I like the tool for most. It gives you temp, parameters, and it gives you a good resource to check stocking issues in that capacity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
