They look exactly like what I had so I'd say yes.
Did you notice any of the cories swimming up against the filter casing repeatedly?
What other fish do you have in the tank?

Yup, those look like cory eggs to me. I'm surprised no one has eaten them, my rummy nose eat up all my cory eggs, rotten lil buggers!

 

[XFiSh_CichildX]

no one has gone near them how long will it take for them to hatch?? thanks

3-5 days. The fry will go up to the surface for the first breath(very vulnerable at this point), hopefully they can hide from your other fish. The filter will suck them in unless you have a cover for it, like mesh or fine netting or something. Most won't survive and they take a few months before they are big enough to not get eaten.

Good luck!

Just scrape them off tomorrow morning (they should have hardened up enough by then) and put them in a breeder box until they hatch? When they hatch you can put them in another tank or even a large box like these http/www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?isSearch=true&isYmal=true&fh_search=0000003220252 with a sponge filter and a heater or two and they should do fine. mine are doing alright in pretty much one of these!

im getting a breeder net tomoz what would be better the net or plastic box ?? thanks

 

[hanny93]

The net until they hatch and then the box once they've been in the net for a week. The current flowing through the net will help keep fungus off the eggs and makes them easier to find when first born.

Make sure you have food suitable for newborn fry, or they won't last long. Oh and don't feed them until they've lost their yolk sac, you can see it pretty easily because it's bigger than the fry!

ok great thanks

Good luck with them mate, i would love to breed cory's one day.

 

[hanny93]

Just a quick tip for you, make sure you only feed them a small amount of food small enough for them to eat. My lovely boyfriend decided to drop in an algae wafer, meaning I woke up this morning to 90% of the fry dead.

thanks everyone but the eggs got eaten was on way to get the breeding net and had a quick look and they were gone
