Eggs...but whos

[vicbarry]

Hi gang
Came down this morning to see about 20 or so tiny little white / pearly eggs stuck to the glass near the top of the tank. I have Corys, Platys, Gouramis, Tetras, Danios and Neons in there. Any ideas who they might be from???

What do I do now. Should I try and scrape them off and put them in a breeding cage>?

You should leave them until you know what kind of fish had those eggs. It could be any of them, but if you want to try "survival of the fittest," just let them grow inside the tank. You could scrape them off, but I wouldn't recommend it, that might disturb the eggs.

99% sure it is the cories...unfortunately with the other fish in there (particulary the danios), they most likely won't survive...if you scrape them off you risk damaging them, and if you don't damage them you will need to put them in a methylene blue solution or have constant circulation so that the eggs dont fungus

Ok, Ill leave them be so. Thanks. What kinda of time period am I looking at for them to hatch?

Once spawning is complete, the adults should be removed, or the eggs moved to another tank where the fry can be reared. If moving the eggs, wait for twenty-four hours before moving them. Eggs are initially almost clear, but will darken as they develop. In approximately four to five days the eggs will hatch, although that may vary based on the environment. After they are hatched the fry will live on their yolk sac for another three to four days. Initially they may be fed infusoria or very fine powdered fry food, then move to freshly hatched brine shrimp, and eventually adult foods. Frequent water changes (ten percent daily or every other day) are critical during the grow out period.

this is for spawning bronze cories, but should be similar for just about any other species...what speices of cories are they by the way? or what do they look like if you're not sure?
