Breeding Corydoras

Hatching and Rearing

As soon as spawning is complete you should remove the adults and leave the eggs to develop by themselves. About a week after this the fry will hatch out and become free swimming a day later. Now they should be fed with newly hatched Brine shrimp and Micro worms. This can be supplemented with powdered fry food but make sure you can swirl this into the water so it sinks quickly. Larger foods can be fed as the fry grow. These should include tablet foods and other catfish treats. Once the babies are three months old they should be large enough to be moved into your community aquarium or sold to local shops
