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!

Yep, that is also a good way to do it. Mine spawned in a 75 gallon, so I removed them because I like to start fry in smaller containers so it is easier to keep food in front of them and I did not want to dedicate an entire 75 to the batch of fry. But removing the adults works well too if one has the tank space.

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

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

Howdy Francesco, I culture them in a bare bottom aquarium with a sponge filter. I use a 20 long or a 30 breeder, but you can use whatever you have available. I keep them just like fish with water changes and floating plants. I feed them sinking fish food with a mix of protien and veggies...algea wafers work great. I also feed Repashy, sinking pellets, bananas, boiled pumpkin, and other random table scraps. I stick food that wants to float with a stainless steel fork so it stays down with the worms. If you put a course matalla matt on the bottom of 1/4 or so of the aquarium, the worms will congregate in the matt and you can remove the matt and rinse it in fresh water to collect them.

@FrannyBunny

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 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.

Oh, Melody, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your clutch and your female! To answer your question, it all depends on how much you feed them.

Am I correct in saying that you do not need an airstone or heater?

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!

Hydrogen peroxide is probably available in the selfcare or pharmacy section of your supermarket. YOu might be able to find it on Amazon.com or your country's version of it.

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.

Howdy Brittany, I guess the term "incubate" can be misleading. For fish, it does not mean to keep them warmer than the tank environment. It really just means to care for them until they hatch. I just set the egg container on a shelf in the fish room and, since I keep the room at aquarium temps, it keeps the eggs at the same temperature as the aquarium water, give or take a couple of degrees. The eggs sink to the bottom and tend to stick to each other in a mass. To change the water, I just slowly pour out all the water I can without pouring out the eggs. If you are concerned about the eggs spilling out, you can pour the water through a sieve or a clean net so they can't slip down the drain.

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

Because I keep a LOT of fish in my aquariums, so I have to keep their tanks clean.

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