Cory eggs?

CozyCat · Dec 8, 2021

Found these while doing a water change on my cory tank. They were stuck to the side of the filter inlet pipe. There's only corydoras, a couple female guppies and my male bristlenose pleco in the tank. Could they be cory eggs? If so, how do I successfully hatch and raise them?

Not cory eggs, if you only have one cory; I've not heard of a female laying eggs without a male present (if the one cory is female). And cory eggs are white. But beyond this (and the other fish are not responsible either) I've no idea. Do you have any largish snails? The small innocuous snails like pond lay clusters of very tiny white eggs in a gelatin-like mass, not what is shown here.

I have a group of 9 corys, bound to be some males and females in the mix. There is a mystery snail in the aquarium too, but it's a juvenile. Quite often see the pond snail egg clusters in my other tanks, these eggs are bigger than pond snail eggs...

They are cory eggs. Make a couple of caves about 3-5mm above the substrate with flat stones the fry will hide under there out of harms way.

What Corys do you have?

I've got peppered and albino corys. They're so cute and the albinos are so derpy

Do the albinos have pointy Dorsal fins or rounded ones

Yeah, I just pulled the filter out to clean the pipes and sponges and noticed the eggs. Where they are on the inlet pipe sits below the waterline.

No, either peppered or bronze. The pointy ones are peppered, and the rounded ones are bronze.

Didn't know that, that's pretty cool

I obviously took your "only one corydorus" to mean one single cory fish...if you have a group including male/female that is a very different situation.

wait so this means that the albino pepper will scholl with pepper and the albino bronze will school with bronze?

Ah I see, sorry for the confusion lol

I meant to say there are a group corydoras in the tank with the female guppies.
