firefish Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Today when I got home I noticed that there are lots of white eggs on the glass, they seem to be separate (not in one sac like usual snail eggs). They are 1mm roughly. There are about 10 clusters of them all over the tank. In the tank I have malaysian trumpet snails, danios, bronze corys and 1 albino rainbow shark. Ive seen the normal snail eggs before and they are definitly not snail eggs. I can't take a photo because I don't have a digital camera. What could this be?

Dixon1990 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 they are most likly bronz cory eggs. Scrape them off the glass and put them in a floating container in the tank with airstone or in seperate tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefish Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 why is it that they lay them on the glass? I assumed that they must lay their eggs on the gravel. I can take a pxt of them on my phone and send them to someone if they pm me with their number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 You could scrape them off with a razor blade and hatch them in another tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 i've separated them, i can see little bodies forming in some of them! when will they hatch? What should I expect to see? and what do I need to do? I've never bred any fish before, so if this works I'll be happy for ages!! :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Just put them in a bare tank with an air stone and heater. Feed them brine shrimp nuplii and microworm but only when they are free swimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsarmina Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 cory eggs take about 5 days to hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 They havent hatched yet :-? does this mean they probably won't? And I think they have a fungus.. how can I stop this happening next time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 A few drops of methylene blue will stop the fungus that grows on the infertile eggs from spreading to the good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I was cleaning out my tank tonight and I saw a little 1cm baby bronze catfish! This is my first fishy baby so I feel like a proud parent One of the eggs must have survived in the tank and it hatched without me noticing When I get a photo (which will be in a week ir so) I'll post it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
