Ok looking at the pics on my phone they look like eggs. What do you have in the tank?

My guess from the tiny photo I can see is cory eggs but obviously I'll see better when I can get on the computer

I see cory eggs. Aka, fish buffet.

I had a feelin corry eggs, there's corrys, harlaquin rasboras, and bolivian rams in there.

do look like cory eggs,my five large female corys spawn in the community tank all the time,always hundreds of eggs and supplies good feeding for the rest of the fish

 

[white9870]

Will I actualy get any corrys from the eggs, or will they jus all be eaten?

 

[scotty]

unless you remove them and put them in a container with an airstone they will become a snack.i usually just put them in a container with an airstone and float it in my main tank

What about somthing like a breading net in the same tank?

 

[scotty]

that could work,as long as there is a good flow of water going over the eggs if possible put a smal airstone in,and the holes in the breeding net are not too large as the fry could get trapped in the holes or slip right through.do you have another tank to put the fry in? if not i would personally let nature take it's course

Yea I got a small 20 liter tank in the attic I can use, I'll do what you said and put them in there, worth a go see if I can get anything from them. Just hope they still there when I get home.

Do tell that to my peppered corys who went from 3 to 8 without me noticing.

the eggs mine lay always become snacks,the apistos and rams love them

To be honest, if they're on the side of the tank they will probably get a good going over from the other fish during the day and the eggs will probably be damaged if not totally eaten.

Get the tank down and the bits and pieces you need for it ready and wait for next time so you can get them out straight away.

Ok cheers, I'll do that then, I'll leave the ones that are there where they are now. Never know still mite get lucky lol. And I'll get everything ready for next time.

One more thing, how do I move them from one tank to the other, and what do I do with them in the other tank, do I just leave them float in th water with the air stone in there, or is there more I'd have to do. Just want to know ready for next time.

Thanks.
