I have a soft spot for Julii and even tho I have bred and raised lots of peppered and strebia I have never had any luck with breeding julii. I think cory babies are some of the cutest little fish around, and truly amazing to see schooling and swimming as one entity.

So congrats on your little julii, and hope next time around you have more successes.

By the way, did the other eggs fail to hatch possibly from fungal attack? A couple of ways some breeders combat that is to put the eggs in a jar with an airstone, tank water and methol blue. Others raise the acidity of the tank water to stave off fungal attacks of the eggs.

thanks everyone. i have lots kind of corydoras including pepper, panda, bronze, albino. but so far the one have eggs only the julli. first one was totally failed as i only get about 3-4 eggs. and put on small bowl with aeration only. 1 hatched and i read online not to feed them in 2 days. and day 2 was dead! some of the eggs yes get fungus. the second batch they have eggs a few on the community tank so i need remove some of the eggs but lots i cant pick up. usually i move out the cory when they have sign of spawn to small tank. and let them spawn the rest on that tank so easy to maintain. and put aeration and keep changing water to prevent fungus. never try metylene blue yet, but i'll try for next batch :)its a challange raise them as they are half size of baby guppy when just born. but its grow more quicker and also fun to raised them they are so cute as everyone said :)

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
