Your 57 can't possibly be worse for breeding than my 55. I've caught two spawnings (the first, all the eggs got fungus), but admittedly if the corys spawn in the middle of the night or when we're away, there's no chance of eggs surviving.
Help! My cories spawned! What do I do??

Mine spawned in the 55G. Yours probably will too.

I wouldn't say your catfish would have caused it like you say adapting for theses fellows must be hard like oto's, my tanks on 25c/78.5 and they seem to be going well plus i've noticed the cories like this heat for breeding.
The man at the shop told me they're hard to get and may not adjust so my own fault for buying 6 and because theyre hard to get that's why they cost more than normal cories.
The egg sack should come off really with maturity but it sounds like you've got them doing well.

Meaning bronze, albino's

Oh they might spawn in the 57 gallon, but there are too many other fish in there that would make short work of any eggs, so I'm very doubtful I could save any eggs in time to hatch them, is what I meant.
I have 27 cories, 50 neon tetras, and at least 3 dozen snails and I got my eggs. You just have to turn on the lights in the morning and let them spawn. Then scrape the eggs or pick them off the glass. Remember when that was my fear? I was wrong. Just hang out with them during the spawn. Usually always in the morning.

The mollies in that tank are endlessly hungry, I just doubt I'd beat the mollies to it
If I can save my eggs from raphael catfish, you should be able to beat the mollies to them.
Is my fry tank too deep? It's 29L. I don't know how far up the tiny fry can swim or if they need to be closer to the surface. Picture has Austrian Alpine Club card for scale. @NCaquatics?

Found another fry dead, it was wedged head down in the tiny gap made in one of the support poles of the breeder net
Hope it was the one that was already dying, and not one that got itself trapped and died as a result

I’m so sorry. Losing them is so disheartening.Found another fry dead, it was wedged head down in the tiny gap made in one of the support poles of the breeder net

I saw a cory fry in my Hypancistrus tank. The plecos live with eight C. pygmaeus and three C. habrosus. I don't know how many fry there are, as I've never seen eggs. I fear the wee guys will have to survive the plecos and the powerheads on their own. I hope they do.

Thank you, it is, I'm sorry for your losses tooI’m so sorry. Losing them is so disheartening.
Some of them still look healthy and growing, we're doing all we can, that's all we can do, and hope that some of them make it!
I think I have 6 or 7 leftThank you, it is, I'm sorry for your losses too
