Re: Corydoras Keepers
Hmm.. A species only tank is the most important aspect. They breed well in normal room temperatures for me. A very thin layer of sand, some driftwood, anubias/Java moss clumps/other leafy plants will help. A mild current flowing through helps since they lay eggs where the current is strongest. No need to remove eggs. Large water changes every 3 days.
I've bred C. Hastatus in the hundreds during its peak. However, my population was always limited by my tank size. It seemed like the population would reach its critical mass and result in large die-offs. I think a sustainable population would require constant culling and introduction of new specimens to widen the gene pool.
I've since stopped keeping C. Hastatus. Since my wife got pregnant, I've downsized and given my tank away to make space for the baby cot. Perhaps RonWill still has his 800 strong shoal?
