Last weekend I saw one of my females zipping around near the top of the tank and I thought that she has fungus on the undercarriage. A closer look showed that those were eggs and she saw looking for a spot to set them down. Right in front of the intake for the powerhead. Shut the powerhead off and just put the whole unit into a hang on the side breeder tank that I have. An hour later I go back and the outlet for my FX4 is completely covered in eggs. I moved as many as possible into the breeder tank, and three days later I have a bunch of baby fish. Too tough to count them right now, they look like white poppy seeds just twitching around in there. It'll be interesting to see how many make it. I've had my corys spawn in the tank before, but with seven different kinds of corys and somewhere up around 75 fish total in a heavily planted 90 gal tank it's been impossible to save them until now.

Awesome, my sterbia Cory’s have been spawning as well. I haven’t tried removing any eggs to hatch them yet though.

Cory's spawn really easily! All it takes is a good water change of 50% or so. They hit a goofy adolescent stage in about 2-3 weeks where their pectoral fins are too big for their body and they look like little awkward airplanes flying through the water LOL! I love cory's, their so cute!
