Thankyou cory helpers!!

[jordonsmum]

I just wanted to say thanks to those who answered all of my cory egg/spawning questions. I now have a 5 gal set up and running with a mixture of highfin pepper cory eggs and long fin cory (pat's) eggs. It's working quite well. I have a bare glass bottom and a tiny bubble filter. I also put in cherry shrimp to clean the eggs. They make wonderful den mothers. They make their rounds every day to pick up the eggs and turn them as they clean them.

I also have a big clump of java moss in the tank. The system seems to be working perfectly.

Thanks again for all of your help!!!!

I've never heard of Shrimp being used to clean eggs - very interesting. :yes:

I was a little nervous at first, but they just pick them up and spin them as they clean them. They expecially focus on the ones that are starting to grow white fuzz if they weren't fertilized. I learned it from a guy who breeds cherry shrimp here in Vic. It's actually kind of funny to watch.

Remember when scoring with the opposite sex meant something that had nothing to do with fish?

Me either. :rofl: Sorry, couldn't resist!
