	sterbai breeding!
jase101 Big Fish Posts: 345 Kudos: 273 Votes: 1 Registered: 06-Jul-2004	i have 7 sterbai - 2 females, 5 males, and they have been breeding for the last 6-7 hours!!! it's so great to watch - i've never seen such cool acrobatics as they attach the eggs to the bottoms of the tiger lily leaves! they have no hope of living, as the tank is full of hungry tetras...but still very cool to have them happy enough to be breeding!

That would be the coolest thing. Best of luck to you and your cory parents... I hope SOME of the eggs survive and you find a few mini-cories darting around your tank! ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

It is always fun to watch cories spawn, as they seem almost frantic while doing so. Any plans to raise the eggs from a future batch? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
