GuppyHunter Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 So i was just having a look at one of my guppy breeding tanks and noticed at least 2 eggs floating randomly on the bottom... they definitely aren't air bubbles, they are 100% eggs. BUT... from what? All i have in there are 4 guppies, i do how ever have 3 hoplo catfish but they're very small, around 5-7cm, surely they aren't sexually matured?. I did have an albino cory in there too but took him out yesterday, Ive had him/or her for about 2-3 months without any eggs or a partner so it cant be him. Very puzzled...

Sophia Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 it could be the corydora, but not if it's a him :dnc1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuppyHunter Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Just remembered i put my panda corydoras in there the other day while i was cleaning one of my other tanks. How lucky, only have two of them, what are the odds they were a compatible pair lol . Bit of a shame i did a water change yesterday though, probably sucked up a lot of the eggs.

Caryl Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Just because you got eggs does not mean you have a pair. Females do not need a male to produce eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuppyHunter Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 But surely if they've been dropped they would be fertilized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 But surely if they've been dropped they would be fertilized? No, they're not fertilized before they're dropped. They're dropped. Then, maybe if there's a male around and if he happens to be paying attention then maybe they'll be fertilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
