Exciting Stuff! But Who, What, How?!

[robbo1078]

After being away all day, leaving the light off in my 60l community tank, I have come home to two internal filters with eggs laid on them! (I guess anyway, white balls in clusters) but my question is, which fish?!

I have 1 bronze and 1 albino Cory
3 neon tetras
1 Silverdin tetra
A few guppies
1 zebra danio (long finned, I thibnk...)
1 BN pleco (only a few months old)

I know this is not perfect stocking, but was given the tank with them in, and am trying to sort the stocking with trips to lfs and such, so please don't shoot me down, I just want to know what eggs they are and what to do with them! Lol

Any help greatly appreciated

I don't think fish can produce 'A' sexually.
and seeing as guppies give birth the live fry...i can only assume its the neons eggs. But i think neon tetra eggs a very sensitive to light.....but i may well be wrong..

They do lay eggs, but I don't know if bronze and albino can cross-breed. I'm 60% sure it's the neons.

Albinos are bronze cories. I'm gonna say with 99.99% of my belief it's the cories.

loool my first bit of advice ive ever given out.

*claps for himself) looooooooooool

Ah ok, wasn't sure. I have to agree with you then, as neons rarely breed outside of the wild.

It'll be the cories (albinos and bronzes are the same species). None of the other fish lay eggs large enough to see easily, nor do any of them stick their eggs to things; only the cories do that, out of those fish.

Are there any snails in your tank? Sounds more like snail eggs to me.

 

[Corydoralover]

it will be the corydoras could you post pics tho cuz we are nosey on here

Cories definitely lay eggs. If it is cories the eggs will be stuck to an ornament or even the tank's glass. They will not be a clump as such, like you might see with apple snails, but will be a single layer thick over a few square inches of surface, at least judging by my own cories.
