20 meantime, Java moss in the tank prospered as did a type of slimy alga. On November 3rd, in preparation for the 2011 FO- TAS convention, I removed about one-half of the Java moss, intending to place this in the FOTAS auction. On November 7th, while feeding my fish, I thought I saw a small cory in the axelrodi tank, but I couldn’t be sure. The next day I saw at least two small corys around an inch in length. So, on November 19th, I removed all of the Java moss, drained about 60 per cent of the water and replaced it, and placed a HOT magnum on the tank. After about 30 minutes, as the water cleared, I began to see three, four, six. young corys one inch in length or less. At this time I have conservatively estimated 12-15 young corys, probably from two or more spawnings, based on size differences. In seems obvious to me, that as these corys spawned – probably IN the Java moss – the dense nature of the Java moss served both as a refuge for the fry as well as an excellent source of food. Now, I am anxious to discern just how many young C. axelrodi are in the tank. The great items up for grabs at the HCCC Fall Auction Catfish Raffle.
