Found Solo Cory Egg By Chance...Now More Eggs

[Harlequins]

On checking my tank for platy fry,i came across one cory egg attached to a moss ball

Its definately fertile and looks like its close to hatching... watch this space

 

[Bobtastic]

Oooh! Can we have some piccies??

 

[iffles]

what type of cory? congrats on the egg will watch this space. keep us posted.

 

[Inchworm]

Oh yes, I'll be watching for updates.

Was the egg already firm or might they just have started spawning?

 

[Harlequins]

Thanks all

The egg was firm,quite beige in colour,no fungus on it so i reckon maybe a few days old

I know its from my Leopards has they've been doing the bizz on and off for ages,but since the last lot of eggs 3 weeks ago,i haven't been able to save any eggs(due to work commitments)from the platys greeding mouths eating them

So i'm hoping i'll be able to save some more next time,they don't seem to lay many in a hit,the most i have ever got is 6

Good luck with the eggs
sort of like my female platy- after buying her, she dropped like 5 fry, the next day another 5 and so on. couldn't catch many- caught 0

 

[Harlequins]

Thanks all

The egg has now hatched

I've got it in a floating tub with an airstone at the mo

sweet! when will we get some pictures?

 

[Harlequins]

I will try later to get a pic,but it is so tiny,my camera wont focus very well

awww congratulations What a lucky find. I've tried adding a ton of java moss to my tank now in the hope my cory's will lay there, as I never seem to get to them before the other fish do.

congrats again!

 

[Harlequins]

Thanks

 

[iffles]

congrats on the egg . what are you planning to feed him/her?

 

[Harlequins]

I will be feeding the fry on first bites powder mix in a little tank water,it worked for my others

Then low and behold when i got home and put the tank lights on,the leopards have been at it again,spotted eggs on the moss ball,so i saved them before the platys had a snack,eventually found 8,put them in the other tank,then when i went back to the main tank,they had laid another 2 on the same moss ball
They only seem to lay a few eggs each time,has oppose to 100's,so i save them has and when.
Here's the wee thing

Here's the first 8 eggs before i found the other 2,they look fertile
