My catfishes just laid some eggs and i didnt expect for it to happen. And now im here

When our albinos spawned, years ago, it was easier to take out the fish instead of the eggs. And it was a crazy amount that hatched and survived. They are super cute little suckers! Congrats!

Well done for showing all the process thoroughly, makes a nice change to see someone going the extra distance!

Well, I have purchased cory cats since I was a child... I'm old now but still purchase and have them in my tanks.. was very interesting to watch this... I have a better appreciation for them and their breeders now. Thank you!

I tried this method and it worked!! I have a lot of little babies starting to hatch. I’m so excited, thank you!!

I love the way you take such joy in what you do. Hopefully i can use this information when my pepper Cory breed. Thanks so much for sharing.

I have about 30 bronze Cory fry right now getting bigger........and just noticed my peppered cories spawning...lol Love it ! Thanks for all your info, great video!

Hey Dan. It's always cool watching corys go through their antics. They're a great group of fish

Thanks so much for the video. I’ve tried this method quite a few times now and it works every time .

Thankyou fella. Gave me a great insight into the process of bringing these little guys up.

Wow, you actually gave an update coming back from your trip. Good stuff

albino corys are not rare but they do look so damn interesting

Great video, thanks for sharing your experience

Very interesting, well done!

Natural environment isn't sterile. The big tank looks like a good balance of nature that will support the corys as they grow. I just subscribed. 💓 You seem like you are a kind person. I enjoyed listening to you. God bless! 😊

I'm trying to spawn my S. barbatus! Thank you for the informative videos on similar species! - Little Bobby

I have fry from an albino & bronze breeding. My juveniles look like a a lighter version of their mother who is a green/bronze. The offspring are pale green so far..

Really good content Sir!!!

great video! I have two batches going right now too. I put them in tubs with the daisy's ricefish fry to pick up the microworms and such that hit the bottom . Oldest batch are about an inch long - sold some of them to the small pet store here in town

Hit the like on the way in and commented during watch, and shared on my Cory Dora and channels I watch playlists...

Subscribed! Only 2K subscribers with that fish room!? You’re on your way thanks for the interesting content 👍

Great video Dan. Mine just spawned for the first time 😁

Never fails. “Anything” becomes “in-uh-thing“

Hey, really informative video! I just have a question, did you have any hatchings from the container with the eggs you thought were bad?

Great info as always -- thanks!

I loved this video!

My Albino Cory just laid eggs yesterday!!!

I get so many eggs and never knew what to do! Very informative video, thank you!! I've gotten maybe 15 babies (who grew to full size) out of thousands of eggs just by leaving them in my tank over the past few years. Next time they have eggs, I'm trying this!

Wow great video!

THANK YOU for the video! I’ve been doing what you said and first fry just hatched😍😍

Excellent informative video

I had a surprise spawning sometime today while I was at work. Ended up trying my egg tumbler.

Just the video i needed

Fascinating ❣️

Have accidentally spawned green corydoras. Neat process. Thanks Dan!

You whats really cool to see when corydoras spawn is you can see the females holding the eggs between their pelvic fins, they clamp them together and form almost like a little pouch if some sort, to hold the eggs.

Hey Dan! Great video and thank you for catching all stages and the pro tips! How often would you change water in a 5G cory fry tank? And how much? Im doing 1-2G amounts, 1-2x/day - is that enough?

So cute 🥺

They are so cute. I am cycling a 32 gallon right now and I am going to put albino corys in it.

I’m so glad I found this video!! I have two females spawning and I was planning on leaving them in the tank but they keep getting eaten! So I’ll be following this video step by step and hopefully I’ll have some survivors! Is there a certain water you recommend using when you change out their water so frequently?

Followed your recommendations. Day one. Lets see what happens!

I used this method worked great. I have too many now lol 😂

Do you know the ratio for peroxide per gallon? Does removing fungused eggs help prevent spread ?

hi Dan. i have watched this video maybe 20 times to see what step did i miss. my albino corys are spawning and i have a lot of eggs every 3 days. i noticed everytime i try to hatch the eggs i only have 10% of them hatch sometimes 5% only. i tried your method HP still the same. menthelyn blue/ rain water/ distiled water/tap water/ tank water. with airation/ without airation still the same 5-15%., eggs turning white. just wanna know what type of water you use? soft water to hatch? i have a colony of 12 or maybe just fertilization problems? i hope to hear your advice thanks

what do you do with the containers? put them back in the tank with the lid? do you need to keep them at a certain temp?

Wow they are so cute

I breed bronze and albino cory’s here’s a little trick I do that most don’t lol I used aquarium glue to glue a suction cup to the outside bottom of a small square tub and stuck it to one end of their tank wedged in a corner of the tank that way the lay their eggs inside the tub and have a ledge to lay on then I Just remove the tub and the eggs will have been laid inside the tub so I don’t have to scrape them off and risk hurting the eggs :) may just be me lol 😂

Thank you so much I had no idea what they were when I saw them I had to Google them and finally figured out why my little albino girl was on the glass on the front of the tank she laid 3 clutches of eggs it blew my mind and had to go and get a round tank at Walmart which I rinsed out thoroughly don't have a bubbler to put in this tank for now hopefully there will hold out for a few days with just some plants in there I do have a very inexpensive heater unfortunately it does not allow you to control the temperature

This was a really nice video! Thanks so much for making it. That mulm/microfauna will be tough to replicate for me. One question: my corydoras are in a tank with zebra danios. Do you think the danios will eat the eggs as soon as they are produced?

great video what is the brown stuff along the bottom and do the cory cats eat it, I just hatched about 30 cory cats and learning how to raise and care for them your video has helped thanks

We got a 30 gallon tank and we have been in the booting up phase ( plants + substrate and let it sit for 2 weeks). We added good bacteria and have a sand substrate. So we want to get corydora's first. Introducing them to be the first fish in there ( I do have 1 assasin snail in there to deal with the snails that came with the plants). I reckon we might buy like 10? But if we leave those for a week or two before we introduce new fish (maybe neon tetra's) you reckon they can breed? And do we HAVE to take the fry out in order for them to survive at all? We have nice plant shelter (wood + a vern or smth on it). and more plants across the aqarium. Kinda want to know if they can just reproduce and have few fry (the fittest) survive without removing them from the tank

We have a few hatchling. Usually my Betta ladies eat them...but decided see if we could raise a few.

Underrated project =(

My albino corys started spawning 3 days ago. They only had 10 eggs spread around random places. Is something wrong with them to cause them to only have 10 eggs?

Hey I really liked the video and that is how I am going to do my next spawn of eggs. I haven’t had a successful hatch from my eggs yet and I am excited to try this! I just had another question, when you have the eggs in the container, do you have an air stone or anything moving the water around in the container or not?

Will they still live without moving them? My fish are laying eggs like crazy but I haven’t seen any fry in the tank yet we do have a couple ornaments that can hide it but I’m not sure if the will?

Nice one mate! With such a fish room u‘ll grow the channel in no time!Subbed to see the progress!!glgl

Very cool video than that but just thought I’d mention that using Malachite green And loading them in a container in the same tank they were hatched in with an air stone work perfectly. All I would do is once or twice a day move the container around so the eggs would keep from Growing fungus.. With that combination I have had a hundred percent success every time they bread.And if you ever get an opportunity, try throwing in a piece of PVC pipe that’s cut in half… They like to lay eggs on that and make it very easy to remove them. And PS… The fungus will spread to the other eggs ..I learned that the hard way On the first batch!

I have one albino cory in my guppy tank.. couple of days back it laid eggs. .so, basically it doesn't need any male cory to lay/ hatch the eggs?

I know that these Cory are very common and pretty cheap as far as cory’s go but they are my favorite. I have 15 in a 90 gallon tank that I built myself. It’s 6 ft long 18 3/4 inches wide and 16 3/4 inches tall. Watching them swim back and forth across the length of the tank is comical. They are in the tank with three pairs of white guppies but the Cory are the stars of the show lol. Great video

Once I move them to the big tank do I start putting water purifier or just straight water from the tap

How much do you feed them? I have baby albino corys (got them from the pet store) and they aren’t even an inch. Should I be feeding them 2-3 times a day? Is that over feeding?

do you just keep the eggs in those jars? no heater or filter ?? I'm a newbie at breeding corys

I’ve never needed to change the water out 100% out everyday But again I hatch the fry in my shrimp tanks lol

Can I please ask Dan, what is the advantage in having snails in the tank? Loved the video.

I just lost all the fry from the last lot of eggs from my oldest bronze corydoras. It was a massive amount and she was huge. The next day after spawning she was dead. One of my housemates (none were brave enough to admit it as they saw how aggro I was) unplugged the heater and air pump to my tank where I hatch/raise my fry to use the outlet and did not plug it back in. We are in spring here, but the overnight cold is still a bit chilly ... all dead. Dan quick question how long do you grow them out for before you feel they are safe to be added to the adult population?

The part where you separated the bad from the good. I just wanna add to that. People say "fungus can't spread and infect other eggs" which as far as I know, it cant. BUT, as the fungus grows it clings onto other eggs and minimises movement and their ability to eat etc. So while the fungus doesn't appear to eat at other eggs/hatchlings, it definitely wraps around them and causes death.

Thanks

Thanks. I got like 200 5 day old albino in my hang on breeder.

Hey Dan, not sure where/if I can get the peroxide and/or methylene blue (I live in AUS) do I need it for them to survive or will some still hatch???

hi, how often do you have to change the water in a day?

What if you just leave them on the glass? I’m not super interested in breeding them but if a few eggs hatch I would be ok with it. Will they still hatch? Mine laid like 50 today for the first time and my female bettas have no interest in them so I don’t think they’ll get eaten. I don’t really have anywhere to incubate them and I don’t really want like 50 Corys either!

I'm so glad you brought up the cherry shrimp. I have a cherry tank with mystery snails and cory. I was curious if the shrimp would eat the fry

Yesterday my albino corys spawned without me even doing anything and l wonder can l feed them crushed fish food after day 6 - 7 ????

Do u use tap or tank water for water changes?

At what point do you add an air stone??

Great video Dan! I believe in another video you mentioned you also use black worms to cycle your tanks. I can’t find a video on how you culture black worms, do you have any advice or information on them?

nice i got peppered corydora fry.get vid. they grow fast when fed right

Hey there can we keep guppies and Cory's together and breed Cory's successfully?

Do you take the eggs out as soon as you notice them or do they need time in the aquarium to be fertilized or something? I found eggs in my aquarium and I want them to do well but I don't know if I should wait to remove them

My Cory’s spawned in my community tank and I don’t know if the fry survived because when I found the the eggs where hatched

I know this is an old video but hopefully I'll get a reply. I'm new to the hobby and I have seen those floating plants you have in your 5 1/2 gallon and 30 gallon breeder tank that have the long roots but can't seem to figure out what they are. Hopefully you can help me out?

Will different Cory's mate? I spotted and albanos.

do you think that a panda cory and albino cory would be able to have a successful spawn being different type of cory?

Am I correct in saying that you do not need an airstone or heater? I screwed up I think as I didnt put my eggs in a seperate container, but instead put them in a breeder box in the tank that their parents and some other small fish are in. Its now day 2 and I think that all the eggs are dead. Should really have watched videos first, but I didnt want to set up a new tank for the eggs, and was concerned about air and heat. Also, how on earth do you do water changes with them in the water? Anyway your video is awesome, I will watch and rewatch!

Mine has breed 6 the other day I didn't even take out the eggs I has plenty off plants I am worried off overcrowding max my tank takes 30 is now 22 this year had 11 born how do i stop the breeding will i have to give some away or the mother RSVP

out of curiosity, why do you need to change the water so often a day?

9:25 am I seeing a fry zipping around the outside of the "fungused eggs" pot? Or is that a reflection from something else in the fish room?

I’ve never used hydrogen peroxide on my angel eggs and didn’t have too much of a problems with the fungus. Do you have any idea if hydrogen peroxide is okay for angel eggs? I grow angels out pretty much the same way when it comes to the tanks. But I wanted to ask, I might’ve missed the approximate amount of water you’re using in the bowl, 4 oz of chlorinated tap water? 4oz and 5 drops peroxide? I don’t want to have too little water and injure the eggs. Then you do this for the first 72 hrs or until you see the wigglers. Do you start using the prepared tank water in the GOT? Then on the fifth day they’re moved to an aprx 2 gal shoe box? Then 2 more weeks to a 5, then a 20, then I’ll split into another 20, if I have 100 fry, haha? The food I have for the new borns are vinegar eels, micro worms, grendal worms and baby brine shrimp. Will any one of these work and if so which would you use? If these Corys are one of the easiest cory to breed, what are one of the most difficult and which are the most rare? Thank you for the Cory educations and knowledge, it’s been a blessing.

Dan what are " scuds "?

I’ve got glofish fry that just hatched what should I do to keep them alive what do they eat I’ve got moss balls. But don’t know what els to feed them pretty new to the hobby

What temperature should water be for those eggs???

Awesome video !!! One question though, the water that you replace with everyday before the eggs hatched. Were they water from a cycled tank or just tap water that’s dechlorinated? And when you moved them to the plastic tub with the Java moss, was it also fresh water ? Just want to understand abit more because I lost my first batch :( TIA

Start a siphon with an airline. Keep the airline near the card. Have the other end of the airline pass through fish net that is sitting on the rim of a bucket. The net will hold the eggs...

I’m wondering if you couldn’t use a spawning mop mop to wipe them off?

very helpful video! Are the micro-worms that you feed to the freshly hatched fry a mass sold fish food? or where do you get them? Thanks

What do you do with the little containers that the eggs are in? You said you incubate them? Hiw do you keep them warm? My females are laying in my aquarium right now, but I don't have an extra tank set up as of right now, help lol

hello mate. New subscriber. I found you, looking for help. I went to my community tank this morning and found the glass covered in eggs. at 1st, I thought they were clown loaches, because the loaches had eggs stuck on their fins. then I realised the corys were chasing each other about. I quickly scooped up the corys and put them in my hospital tank, but I think they've finished spawning. i was too late. and the other fish are feasting on the eggs. I always keep a spare sponge filter going in my main tank, so pulled it out and it has about 30 eggs on it. so that's gone in the hospital tank and i put a drop of meth blue in. after watching your vid though, they are white not yellow. so i have 2 questions. is it worth bothering with those eggs? and how often do they spawn? I've had these corys for about 6 months and this has never happened before. I'd like to be prepared next time. any advice welcome. cheers steve

Thanks Dan! I learned a few things from this video that I hope to use with my own Corys one day. < Fishez

Hey, how old is the parents fish so that they can lay eggs??
