I sell at my local fish club, but I've got them coming out of my ears now, so I need to thin the herd again. Will probably bring a bunch to one my LFS.

No, my males stay well away from one another. They each have their own cave, and they rarely leave it. My current breeders are in a 29 gal, heavily planted tank. I have another set of albinos in a 30 x-long. The albinos are just coming up to breeding age. I expect to start seeing some action soon. The browns I've got breeding now throw both brown and albino (the albinos are SO cute when they're little!). Now, I just need to get some longfin genes in there, too. :drool:

Titania,
I see that you're in Mass. I'll take a few off your hands. PM me if you're interested.

damn abns for 20 bucks.. thats insane... up here they only sell for 5 bucks a pop..


once you get a breeding pair they dont stop... mine have breed for me 6 months in a row now.. they slowed down a few months ago but all i did was drop the temp 5 degs for 4 days then back up 8 degs.. the day after i upped the temp i had a new spawn :D

im lazy so i usually feed omega one algea wafers.. they are putting out 50+ each spawn now :D

Cories don't normally lay their eggs in big groups. Were they scattered around the tank stuck on stuff?

They WERE scattered about a bit - weird thing was that the eggs were stuck to the glass near the TOP in two different groups and another bunch were stuck in the Java Moss (the tank is nearly FULL of Java Moss!), in the flow from the filter...
All fry still alive (well - there are a few little bodies...) and I'm off to the lfs shortly to find something for them to eat...
Incidentally, the fry all sit about on the bottom, not moving much, but obviously quite healthy.
Wonder what the hell they are??!!
Still betting on Cory.

Bristlenose sell for about £4-£5 here, about $10.
I'll ask today about ca$h or store credit.
