A.eunotus (Orangeschwanz) Spawn

[slimbolen99]

Finally got the camera where it could take a few decent photos. I now have 50+ fry. They hid very well. It is amazing to watch the mother herd them around the tank. This 20 gallon high (24" x 12" x 16") houses one pair of A.eunotus (Orangeschwanz) along with six Corydoras aeneus "bronze".

pH is about 6.8. It creeps up to 7.0 between water changes.
Temp is 74 at night/early morning and 76 during the afternoon/early evening.
Unsure on the hardness.
Haven't tested for nitrates, nitrites, or ammonia in a while. Probably will soon, when I pull the wrigglers out in a couple of weeks.

Anyone know how long it takes for these guys to become sexable?

Thanks!
Bb

Congratulations on the spawn! Just expect that most of the fry to mature into females at the temperatures in which you're raising them.
