Default Baby time!

Woah!
Population explosion!!
In the last few days i've had baby swordtails, baby snowball shrimp, baby green shrimp, and my pygmy cories have spawned. Also, my glowlight danios seem to be showing spawning behaviour.

It's the tank of love!!

A water change can trigger off spawning in cories apparently they think its the rainfall that happens in the wild, its happened to me in the past with normal corydoras. My angels have just spawned for the second time on the filter last time was a couple of weeks ago and the eggs dissappeared but the problem is if the eggs hatch the filter is gonna suck up the babies. Fingers crossed this time anyway

No chance!
They're in with much larger fish, so they're sensible and stay in the moss. The only reason i noticed them is that I was trimming the moss lol. I'm hoping they reach adulthood... if they're smart enough to stay hidden they will

Wow, congrats.

Is this a different tank to the tank of death then?

Btw, for a minute there I thought I was in Off-Topic and the thread title meant you had some news for us...
