Caper Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I just posted a pic in the freshwater section...apparently there are eggs from my cories on the back wall of my tank.

Caryl Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 No need to panic caper. Just remove the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 The parentswill eat the fry, so leave them be. You may get some that survive, but i mean, who cares? more = better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 i wouldn't stress over them too much. a couple of weeks ago i saved 300 eggs. 56 of them hatched. i have 4 fry left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I thought corys dont eat their eggs or fry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 if the eggs are fertile destroying them raises some ethical issues leaving them alone means nature will take its course what to do tongue in cheek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I believe that corys eat their fry but not the eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janelle Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Too bad you can't send them to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Too bad you can't send them to me I wish I could. Now I know why 2 were so chummy. 2 in little cave like ornament, 1 hiding outside nestled into a spot. Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Seriously Caper.. since no one has asked I will.. why is this a disaster for you? You said recently that there was only 1 place to buy fish in town...and that yo weren't always sure they were healthy. Don't you think you might be able to sell these if they hatch?

Caper Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I don't have the tanks or resources to have baby fishies jn. I doubt I could sell them and I'd rather not get into that anyway. I know you all get so excited about your fish breeding, it amazes me...but it's just not for me Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 So have you taken the eggs out then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
