Caper Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 This is my 10 gallon tank. It only has 3 peppered cory in it. Sorry about the quality of the photo...this is one of the tanks that has gone cloudy and I don't know how to turn the flash off on my camera :-? I just turned my lights on and there are all these little white "things" on the back wall of the tank! HELP! Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted September 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Oh my gosh...I just did a fast browse on the internet...if they are well fed they usually leave them alone! AND they can have 100-300 eggs within hours...is each white spot an egg????? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Sweet as just keep them if some make it trade them back to the pet shop.. Or stick something in there that will eat them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Jeez, Caper, do you enjoy stressing about everything? If you don't want to take care of them, don't. They'll survive or not survive on their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jn Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Are the eggs necessarily fertile? Maybe they won't hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarimochi Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 they are just eggs people! Count yourself lucky, none of my fish evere breed. ever. not even the guppies. ps. what about what your signature says?? You should give the eggs a chance.

Caryl Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Good point yarimochi. Everybody sing together... All we are saying, is give eggs a chance! Oh, that's give peas a chance isn't it? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Don't panic Caper - you can handle it... Our Peppered Corys were always up to no good, eggs everywhere. Do you get Methelene Blue over there - a drop or two will help stop the eggs getting fungus. Don't clean the bottom of the tank too much either, the young'uns like to grovel around in the muck and eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 what about what your signature says?? You should give the eggs a chance. Ok, panic is over :oops: :lol: I've decided to let mother nature decide. I do believe in taking care of your pets. But I don't have any place or resources to handle a lot of baby fishies. I thought I had 3 of the same sex. I wasn't sure if it was male or female but they all looked the same :-? Thanks all Caryl, isn't it give "peace" a chance :lol: :lol: Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
