Stephen's 120L tank log

[BigBen]

They take a few hours to turn beige. Trilineatus are pretty good egg eaters if I remember posts on the former forum correctly.

I think you were right Ben.
Just checked the few eggs on the aquarium glass and one is twitching in the current but there is definitely a nucleus (black dot in the middle) and very clean looking, the others not though.
It's been 4 days since I spotted the cory eggs.

I'd imagine they will hatch in the next 12-24 hours. Would be nice if a few survived. I love fish spawning, it demonstrates you are doing a good job.

What happened with the cory eggs @Stephen? Congratulations on having happy fish!

They didn't come to anything.
It's early days and I guess they were just practicing.
It isn't my intention to breed the Corydoras trilineatus but if they do then fine.
My intention is to breed the Gold Laser cory (CW010) but I'm in no hurry.

All the best

Hard to believe this new Juwel Lido 120 is now 8 months old.

Time flies when you’re having fun!

Hard to believe this new Juwel Lido 120 is now 9 months old.

It's now time to think about some breeding.
I will hopefully transfer a group of the Gold laser cory to this 120L aquarium.
I may have the cory in there on their own.
I am still considering removing the Juwel internal filter and having an external filter.
Then again, maybe switch the internal filter off and add an air sponge filter.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
I have never attempted to breed fish before, so this is a new venture for me.

I am also considering re-planting the aquariums (both this 120L and the big 550L).
I may have to take the plants and decor out of the big 550L aquarium just to catch the Gold laser cory.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

All good fun though.

Good luck with the project.

Good luck with the project.

Thanks Ian. It's a new venture for me.

Can you remember where you got the T bars from.?

Removing the filter is easy peasy
