no the eggs are on aleaf which i have protected from other fish but the ones on the glass are not protected they are hidden away and the other fish dont seem to ov noticed them should i put a net up to stop them from geting eaten cant move any fish as my other tank is full

I would get a breeding net and put the eggs in there until they hatch and grow for like a month or so. Other wise they run a very HIGH risk of being eaten.

Just take a razor blade to carefully scrape the eggs off the glass and place them in a breeder neat along with the other eggs.

Hi roofer no1

Here's a link that will give you some information about breeding corys. Please feel free to ask any additional questions you might have.

I would not recommend using any kind of livebearer net to try to raise the fry in. At the very least, start them in a 2 1/2 gallon tank. Cleanliness and water changes are very important if you wish to succeed with them.
