 Akron's fall auction last year was really profitable for me. I got my group of Albino Corydoras Aeneus there, In addition too my long fin corys. These albino corys were placed in a 20 gallon tank for conditioning. They were fed a diet of frozen brine shrimp, earthworm and shrimp pellets and cucumbers. When I noticed the females getting heavy with eggs, the colony was moved to a 5 gallon tank with a temperature of 78 degrees and a PH  of 7.6. I placed black construction paper around the tank to darken it up and waited.

 It was just a few days after the move was made that the corys spawned, and there were over 50 eggs along the sides of the tank. I removed the parents and waited to see if any of the eggs would hatch. Three days later I had about 35 little wigglers in the tank.

 I started feeding the fry banana worms. They grew quickly and after a couple weeks they were eating frozen brine shrimp and crushed earthworm and shrimp pellets. These guys really gobble up food and after 60 days, I have about 32 nice albino cory cats.
