Bronze Cory immediately ate eggs

feed the fish more and they will be less likely to eat the eggs.

I think I overfeed normally so this morning tried to feed less.

Mine don’t eat the eggs until the spawning fun is over. I have eggs almost everyday. Just moved some more over to the nursery tank a minute ag. I. If you can get them through the first week of life, they seem to really take off and grow. Sadly, I only get about 2-4 survivors out of each spawn.

Ah that's not great odds but then just one is enough too. I doubt if mine will do ok. Only got 3 eggs & not sure I'll have the set up they need.

Your fry are probably starving. Make some green water and infusoria and put the eggs in the green water or add green water and infusoria to the rearing tank. See if that increases survival rates. The fry tank needs to be dark green so the fry are right next to the food and don't waste energy trying to get it.

You can also try boiled egg yolk.

Back to Basics when Breeding Fish

STARTING OUT Make sure you have a pair, (1 male + 1 female). There is nothing worse than spending your hard-earned dollars buying a couple of fish to try and breed and ending up with a pair of fish of the same sex. Let's face it, to reproduce fish you need a male and a female. Two males won't do...
