flash_oesc Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Good day! Corydoras, apistos or snails? http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o786/flash_oesc/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140329_175253_zps7164acbb.jpg http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o786/flash_oesc/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140329_175309_zps1e5b825d.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Not an expert but it looks like snails munching on cory eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash_oesc Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I was hoping for a different answer, like snail on snail death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Definitely Cory eggs... snails may not eat them, just clean them. I have ramshorn snails in with some corys that spawn regularly, and it's the parents I have to be careful of, not the snails or cherry shrimp or plecos also in the tank.

This tank was a qt tank. Funny thing, we were About to tear down and our apistos had swimmers, so we left it running. Was about to tear down tomorrow when i noticed these eggs. Think they are telling me they like the 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash_oesc Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well, we took down the 30. I cut the leaves the eggs were on (glass eggs got eaten) and put them in a hangon quarantine box. Placed it under the filter so current would get in the box. Woke up to a bunch of swimmers today, more by the hour. Seems i have dozens of corydoras. I crushed up some nls pellets and put them in the box. Should that be good enough for them to eat? I did that with my cichlids, but they came out bigger.

jvision Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Crushed food might work if it's soaked and soft. If you have a bunch of moss, toss that in as well - they'll pick off all the microorganisms that live on it. Microworms are also a good first food.
