Surprise spawn.
Kubotai rasboras, randomly found 3 eggs. Moved them via pipette to my fry tank. I'll see how that goes. This will be interesting.

Okay then the eggs, look close.

#1 easy enough, out in the open...

#2 ehhh in the moss

#3 even harder to see

Oh my goodness, I don't know how you do it! I can't see the fry against the leaf even with the macro shot and it circled! :rofl:

I think of newborn guppies as tiny, but they're massive compared to the teeny things you hatch!

Kubotai rasboras are already really tiny as adults. Like juuuust under 3/4 inch.

They are tiny, I was looking at them as a future fish, would have to order since no LFS stocks them, wish my ember tetras would have had some fry. I am always looking for eggs but no luck, :dunno:

you sure can spot them. :good:

Pure luck one was out in the open on the crypt leaf. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't have looked closer for the others I found.

But the struggle will be raising them. Theyre soooooo tiny lol

The only eggs I have been able to spot are ones left by my nerites snails :dunno:

The 16 corydoras aeneus babies are doing fantastic.

Found a random single pygmy cory egg today, so ill see if that hatches.

Tomorrow someone should be taking the remaining sparkling gourami juveniles as well, aside from one my friend is taking and two that are runts and will need some time still.

None of the 3 kubotai eggs/fry made it, not surprising though given their size.

The last person who was supposed to come pick up my older pygmy cories never contacted me back, so im keeping them.

So I kept a total of 7 pygmy cory babies. Theyre so cute, they just chill wherever without fear in the adult tank. Which is so nice to see. My adults are wild caught so theyre so much more timid.

And the 4 trilineatus cory babies I kept, theyre doing good.

Solo is a female, finally was able to tell with her. The others I should be able too soon.

Man, I wish I could find some Cory eggs. You must have x-ray vision.

Cory eggs are around 2mm in diameter, some a little larger some a little smaller. Pygmies are only 1mm.

Usually though they get eaten before they're noticed.
My paleatus have been spawning each day this week, different female.

Today's eggs were eaten before I saw them. Evidence was egg marks on my glass.

The "debris" in the water is the bubbles from the output of my HOB since they laid them on the back wall.
All the eggs were eaten, either by my hoplos or my BN pleco lol
