Hifin Pepper Cory's spawned on filter intake... now what??

[jordonsmum]

Silly cory. Spawned right on the tube for the filter intake, all the way down to the intake part. I'd really really like to remove them into a seperate container like I did with by bronze cory's a few weeks ago. Is it too soon? They were ready to hatch last time I did it. Actually they hatched the second I moved them into the container. Is it safe to move them this early??? Thanks in advance!!! Need some cory's anyone?? :laugh:

Ye gods woman! Fry, eggs? Forget about selling fish, you should be selling that water! I love love love corys! Funny how in a huge tank with loads of perfect places to lay eggs they only seem to lay them where its totally inconvieninent or where we can't see them huh? :laugh:

Tell me about it!!! :laugh: At least the last one was considerate enough to lay three big clumps right up on the front of the tank near the top. Could see them plain as day and easy to reach, all clumped in nice little packages. This one decided to do two here... two there... one over in the corner, three down at the bottom and then about 15 right one the filter intake. I'm going to need to have a little chat with the young lady for the next time. Which reminds me of a new question... how often CAN they spawn???

Can you also have a chat with my haustrum who is laying one egg here 2 eggs there and then another 2 or 3 somewhere else!!! :eek: I have green blobs all over the place! :confused:

you can remove the eggs anytime you want.. I have even removed eggs as they place them on the glass, so there isn't any time that is too early.

Also, they will spawn as often as they want when in good spawning condition.. mine are actually spawning every 4 days or so now..

WOW!!! oh my gosh.. what do you do with them all??? You mentioned to put an airstone in the container. Should I do that right away for after hatching?? Thanks for your helps as always!!

i really don't know what is required and what isn't.. lately I have hatched them with and without the airstone.. also with and without changing the water in the container.. I have been testing different methods for different fish.. you can even use a fry trap thingy floating in the parents tank and not change any water as that works, or put them in a container in a dark place and not change the water at all..

lol.. now I am probably just confusing the heck out of you.. but really, if they are fertile, they probably will hatch.. especially with paleatus as they are usually tough as nails.
