Cory eggs

[Sgooosh]

wow, big mama cory did her thing again. any tips on raising them?

you have two choices. Leave the eggs in tank and hope that you get a good Survival rate
or scrape eggs from glass put the eggs in a tank or container The eggs will hatch in a few days depending on temperature.
The way I do it is to scrape the eggs into a net Put them in a plastic container Using same tank water,
feeding, prepared foods, Fine powder food or crushed flake live foods Micro worm. vinegar eels ,brine shrimp. and then Daphnia and grindal worm. cory fry grow fast after a few weeks should be big enough to put it back in main tank.

ok, thanks. is there any anti-bacterials I should use?

The eggs only get attacked by bacteria if they're infertile, or if the tank is a real mess. You should be good as is.

@fish48 I'm not jealous. No way.
But nice.

Just a note - some breeders add a faint tint of methelyne blue. It doesn't hurt, but the main function is that dead eggs absorb the dye, so you can remove them with an eye dropper. That way, their eventual decomposition doesn't cause the whole lot to be attacked by fungus, with the one bad apple effect. That can happen - be active with eggs.

I regularly use methelyne blue. If your eyesight is not too good. It does help to pick out the dead eggs lol.
