Corydoras eggs?
« on: May 05, 2010, 05:37:31 PM »
Hi,back again :).
I found my Albino Corys laying eggs on the side of their tank.Tankmates are a breeding pair of BNs.What should I do? Just leave them till they hatch?
Here's a little video,I always grab the camera. ::)

put a little mesh around them to protect them or if your careful scrape them off the glass with a sharp blade and tumble hatch them

congrats  O0

Great!  Congrats O0

Great video!  Are the eggs the right color?  Have no idea with Cory's so just curious.

Thank you mrbigfish. :)
I might just leave them unless they get fungus growing on them,like I did with the BN eggs.Though most have still got the white bit in the middle,so doesn't look good. :)
