for your expert advice and support. Much appreciated for a first-timer. Unfortunately, we've been having so much trouble with the water clarity in this particular tank and after I managed to transfer some eggs to breeder tank which was then suspended inside original tank, hubby got all proactive and did a big clean. Don't ask me how but he says he did not realise what breeder tank was and so cleaned that also (really good scrub). I am absolutely gutted, but will be forearmed and forewarned for next time now!

Thank you very much for that advice! Will give it a shot.. the eggs are white circumference but transparent to look at, does this mean infertile?

Have since found their real name to be: Corydoras venezuelanus

I am an absolute beginner at all this, having had a community tank and a cichlid tank for around 8 months now, but with only the sheer pleasure of it at heart, nothing too serious so long as everybody's healthy. Have never had eggs before and was stoked to find (after suspecting one catfish very plump for some time) eggs on glass on both sides of tank this morning. They are in my cichlid tank and i was told this morning that nothing will come of it as they will be eaten and will die if I move them? Is this for real? Will they just disappear? And if so, what can I do next time to ensure eggs get some sort of chance at life?
