If he bites his fins off one more time....

[Silverfang]

you get quite the pile of biters don't you tiki?

[Sakura8]

I long ago gave up trying to keep any of my fish's fins looking nice. As long as they aren't infected, I don't care if they're ratty-looking. >.>

Nothing spawns for me. Not even mosquitoes. Sigh. But watch, one of my rats will turn out to be male and I'll wake up to a surprise litter or something horrifying like that.

[Tikibirds]

This one is special - he only bites his fins when I change the water

SAkura - once I was awoken in the middle of the night by a strange squeeking sound. The next day I find 2 baby chinchillas running around the cage

[Sakura8]

Tiki: Did you have two chinchillas at the time or was this some strange immaculate conception of chinchilla babies?

[Silverfang]

the corries spawned. But they mighta given me duds >.>

And the population of shrimp keeps exploding

[Sakura8]

At least they spawned. Mine wouldn't even do that much. But cool if you got a bunch of baby panda cories!

Eggs that are viable are clear. Eggs that are opaque and white are fungused. In warm enough temps, the eggs should hatch in 3-8 days, with apparently 4-5 being the norm. According to this corydoras catfish book, it's suggested to add aeration for the eggs and a fungicide. And to avoid bright lights. On the other hand, thousands of cories have hatched in home aquariums without any such steps being taken so I wouldn't worry too much.

I guess you are the goddess of shrimp fertility then!!!!

my eggs that hatched were tan

Both were pretty unfriendly since they came from petshops

[Sakura8]

Tan? But clearish tan, right? Not like solid so you couldn't see inside?
