On a brighter note, my new filter came in the mail yesterday so hopefully today I will get it installed after a wc. There is always a tiny bit of sand in the filters, my this sludge stuff is definitely not sand. Not sure what it is. Hopefully the external filter will take care of it.
I will update this thread with anymore eggs in the future. Thanks for hangin in there with me guys, sorry this time was such a bummer
If breeding cories and rearing fry was easy, everyone would do it and it wouldn't be as exciting. Part of the excitement early on is the potential for this let-down by the end.
Sorry for your loss(es), but congrats on the new filter.
