rompergoddess Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hey! I finally got some cories that are laying eggs all over my tank. Any advice on what to do next? Am very excited!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaFishMommy Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 what do you all have in there for fish? the eggs may get eaten if there are other fish in there, and the cories themselves may eat the eggs. when i had my albino cory pair lay eggs in the quarantine tank a couple years ago their endler tankmates had a feast! lol. you can scrape them off the tank wall with a razorblade and transfer them to either a breeder net or another tank (one that is cycled!). good water flow and ample aeration are the key to keeping eggs from 'going bad'. if the eggs turn white then they are no good. any eggs that get fungus on them should be removed asap as well, since the fungus will move over to the healthy/viable eggs. good luck!

corrosionjerry Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 they will need to be put in a shallow tank / with a few inches of water with lots of airation... put some antibacterial in the water to prevent fungus and do not feed the fry till their eggs sacks have been absorbed once they hatch... then feed several times a day with a micro food .... very fine crushed food / vinegar eels / micro worm etc.... maybe start them off with an infusoria of some type.... not sure I spelled that correctly ....
