Hi all

Want you to have a look at my pictures of some egg clusters layed in my tank there are loads of eggs about Ø2mm stuck to the glass. Who lay-ed them.....?

I removed a cluster of around 15-20 last week but have decided to leave these.

I came down the other morning and noticed about 10-15 eggs on the face of the tank on the glass, after looking around for more found another 2 clusters on the support brace of the tank.
In all they are approx 50-60 eggs all lay-ed in the main flow of the pump jet filter, I take that it is to oxygenate the eggs. They are no were else in the tank
I think they maybe assassin snail eggs but not sure thought they where hard to breed and for the shear volume of eggs layed....!

Not sure what to do if they are assassin snails for the reason to sell them on, I would like to remove them and place them in a breeding pen that I hang from the top of the tank.

Saying that not sure at what stage to do this....... will see like to confirm what they are first...!

Many thanks

Definably not assassin snails, I would put my money on the corys personally, but very rare to have Pink eggs, usually pink eggs are from Apple snails and the like.

I would say cory eggs myself.

WOW.....Thanks guys...... Not expecting that.....!

What should I do with them, can I move them to hatch them off then try to protect the fry...?

Many thanks

I have corydoras panda. They always put their eggs under leaves.
I believe you have eggs from other corydoras. After several attempts I managed to raise the fry to adult size.

I removed all eggs from the tank and put them in a breeding floating net, but not on the ground level, because other fish from the tank might try to eat and stress them.
The eggs will hatch after 4-5 days if the water temperature is around 25ºC.
The eggs are sensitive to fungus, so the breeding net should be kept as dark as possible. I use floating plants for that.
Fry hatch after 3 days and are free-swimming in 3-5 days. Fry best temp is 22-23C. Young should be fed small live foods such as white worms.

I keep one cherry shrimp with the eggs to pick any fungal spores from healthy eggs.
Cherry shrimp will eat diseased eggs, but leave healthy ones unharmed.
I also captured on film a shrimp playing with the eggs.
