i'd say there Bristley eggs, cories tend to lay them on surfaces, and they look like my BNs eggs

yes the bristlenose eggs, orange in colour, when they first hatch its like an orange blob with tails, then after a few days microsopic bristlenoses, great to observe, is the dad fanning the eggs? females lays and leaves it to the male to care

the dad has thrown them out not looking after them notice this morning dont know if shld move them to a trap or not

hehe i also did that, have you got a spare tank lying around?
if no do you want to breed bristles?
if yes buy a cheap tank and get a sponge filter as i did......tank was free,,sponge filter was free<but cost round 6-7pounds....pump to power the sponge filter is the ones you use for the bubble stones,,,, luckily for me at present the tank temps 24c without heater<have to put heater in the winter,,,,

my tanks bare bottomed so easier to clean the 80+ frys poo away,,,,messy bugg@#s
