The first female dropped after about 18 days no sign of any larva which i will assume will be tiny given the short gestation. I have moved the second into an experimental tank but it hasn't had long enough to really establish properly to be successful but they will have a better chance than the main tank.her eggs have changed colour so I'm assuming they are close to hatching.

By the way, I am still using your white bread recipe for MWs (including your starter culture) that you posted on Facebook more than a year ago. By far the best recipe hands down. Thanks heaps again.

Hi JC, If you are feeding microworms on buffering substrates I would suggest using a petridish and pipetting the microworms in there. I currently have my spawning group of C.panda, breeding pair of barbatus, yet to breed group of C.schutlzei Black and yet to breed group of C.cervinus in with shrimp. Having shrimp there have not distrupted spawning of the corys that have spawned. I am thinking about introducing some shrimp into the tank of C.septentrionalis Colombia group as they are very skittish and I was suggested to use dither fish in with them. So I am going to use dither shrimp ? Most of my tanks are sand, half sand half bare or bare bottom tanks. I have bags of shrimp substrate but they are still sealed under one of the racks! lol

Hi Serkan, Have you tried breeding the corys in shrimp tanks? Keen to hear your view. I find the microworms tend to fall between the gaps of the substrate especially for buffering substrates which are a larger grain size compared to e.g. sand. I have been breeding them in bare bottom tanks but any good tips from you would be helpful. Cheers, JC

I reckon the above could also apply to plants as well, especially invasive species. I am not sure how you can humanely euthanise plants though. ?

Thieves are low human beings. No thief would dare aproach my tanks. Looking slightly less scary then usual in this pic due to me waking him up to take this photo hah. He was like "are you done yet ?"
