The parents do not even eat live baby brine or daphnia magna. I’ve tried every commercial food and nothing. I really tried with this batch of fry because with both papas now successfully raising fry and them surviving the community I need them to be popular. As the babies were growing they would not eat powder fry food. The tank itself is polluted with microfauna. I moved them to this grow out after trying diligently to remove all microfauna hoping they would be hungry enough to eat commercial. No deal again. I ended up losing 2 of the smallest fry that just got to thin and weak. They still would not even eat frozen baby brine. At the size they are now they watch the live baby brine float past but do not chase or eat. They just congregate tighter at the front glass waiting on worms 😝🙄 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept 2 girls and 1 boy from my First batch and let them stay in the community. The girls are still doing great. I suspect one of this batch was from an F1 girl. The boy I saw starting to color into breeding maturity then he was never seen again. Around the disappearance time both original papas were active and in war paint so I’m assuming a 29 was not a large enough footprint for them to allow another breeding male in the territory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both types, plus 1 female platy, were in the quarantine tank. I discovered the babies after moving all the adults out. The 7 that survived turned out to be ricefish! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricksonAquatics Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 @Guppysnail are hillstreams fairly easy to breed in your experience? Congrats on fry anyways! They’re definitely a bucket list fish for me. Such awesome little mini stingrays😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re definitely a bucket list fish for me. Such awesome little mini stingrays😂 I’m going to have to say yes but here is why. I only have 2. They were in with my Sawbwa resplendens. I use an egg catch cup to collect the eggs from the Sawbwa. The Sawbwa prefer to spawn in the open so I got no eggs from them in the catch cup. I have 2 floating breeders with hillstream babies though from my collection efforts. 🤣 so these are surprise accidental fry. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rube_Goldfish Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) Corydoras sterbai fry that hatched about six days ago, at 1x zoom and 10x zoom on my phone camera: I'll see if I can turn the video I have into a gif the way @mountaintoppufferkeeper does. I think I got it! Here's a quick gif of the then-three day old* cory fry hiding from me under a magnolia leaf: *I think; I pulled eggs for three straight days into that breeder box, so I'm kind of guessing.

GoofyGarra Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I just discovered this little Albino Cory living with my platy fry, I threw some eggs in the tank thinking "If they hatch, they hatch" and this little guy hatched and is surviving with the bigger fish 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggaz Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I like those ceramic cups on the front page... I wonder is it a good idea to try to replicate that, using wooden branches of various diameters that I hollow out on a drill press? I've got all my plants established, so I wanted to start adding some more rock piles, flat covers, and other hidey holes in various places to give my fish and shrimp more apartments, hopefully also for spawning. I just want to keep things more natural, tho I did consider tossing an old beer bottle in there to really complete the whole "bottom of the pond" look. Also in the market for a miniature shopping cart and/or rusty bicycle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
