Emeralds have recently been reclassified to be Corydoras and not Brochis.

[jenniferm]

What are those bright blue fish in the aquarium you had to scrape the algae?

[carpls]

I just got some new peppered Cory’s and I’m trying to breed them

[fishingnh]

I have a tank with about 8 pygmy cories havent seen eggs and at this point all thats left is the pygmy corys and the snails

[bettaaquatiks]

Awesome info/video. Thanks for sharing Blake.👍👍

[GeoffYates]

How often and how do you actually do water changes in the little fry ‘tank’ in the first 3 weeks?

[dylanjanssens]

Hi Blake, i have some difficult over few months now of keeping the fry Alive. And i have plenty fry and almost 98 % hatch rate but after 2 weeks and onder they keep dropping dead 15 a day . I guve them microworms and poader food. And i use ziss bl2 breeder box . Wate should be fine no nitrite but little bit of nitrates but way in the save zone. And now ther javamos in de boxes

Small suggestion: there are plastic razor blades that are cheap and won't scratch glass at all. Plastic blades sound dumb, but remember you're not actually cutting anything. They're pretty great when used right.

Do you heat the container the fry hatch out in?

[AcousticKitty]

Question: Harvesting the eggs from the glass, about a blemish extractor tool? And I don't mean the electric kind but the simple, metal tool with the round wire loop? Anyone try that?

[Druppelsgewijs]

how do you sepperate the methyleen blue water from the fry?

[Kwr_devil]

When you put the eggs on a different container with the blue is it tank water or fresh water that's been de chlorinated

[thedampestcrib]

Any advice I get them to about 3rd or 4th day then poof all dead. Feed 2 to 3 times bbs only difference I do is first bites instead of micro worms.

[bretho]

Could I have some more info on the "micro worms" please?

[lil.erick]

Can they breed whit a betta fish in the tank

[ct_old_crew]

Very nice video..Just go up ... can you tell mi name of blue thing you put in wather. Thanks a loot. :)

[toxathedog]

It’s evening of day 3 but my eggs looks like glass balls with white dot inside. Is that okay or they not gonna hatch ?

[ronnethepanyo]

Oh I see LUKA's another hobby better than NBA 😅😅

[michellukic]

Do or not to do water change when they hatch?

[StevenDavisPhoto]

Most people recommend 2:1 male to female.
