luckyfish Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) I just s****e them off the glass with a razor blade, fill an ice cream container 1/4 of the way with the parents tank water, put in an air stone, a few drops of meth blue anti-fungal solution and put the eggs in. Everyday I scoop out abit of water and replace with fresh water from the parents tank, and add 1 more drop of meth.blue, they hatch anywhere between3-8 days, its very easy. Once they hatch stopped adding meth blue, but continue the water changes especially as they will start eating now, and all I feed them is fine powdered food (dust basically), we make our own powered baby food using the magic bullet I now have two ice cream containers full of babies and eggs and two small tanks with bigger babies. Or you can use brine or micro worms or dapnia. I've got more containers ready for the next egg laying session. Give it a go, its very rewarding. And once they're big enough not to fit in the parents mouth or get eaten by anything else then put them back in the parents tank. If you don't have meth blue then try putting a shrimp or two in with the eggs, they will pick off and eat any fungus that does start to grow and eat any dead eggs.

mines bigger Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 i do as lucky fish does, just float the icecream container in the parents tank and the eggs hach in about 72 hours for me, i just feed my fry hikaru algae wafers and i have a larger gn in the tank to clean up leftovers, the hikari wafers break up into tiny pieces which the corys love, i should post some pics tonight, i find the only trouble is getting to the eggs before the parents eat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
