Re: Found Cory Eggs

You still out there? Mine just laid eggs this morning, so here I go again. I bought a new bottle of Methylene Blue and started using it with this batch. I probably need to do daily water changes on the egg tank too. I'll re-read Ian's article again today. Sorry about that! I've been fairly busy. I ...

Re: Found Cory Eggs

You are so lucky especially under the travelling circumstances! Yes, you fed them too early. It will take about 3 days for them to deplete their egg sacs. Like Sino12 said, get some moss in there first, stay on top of daily water changes, then start feeding foods once the egg sacs are depleted ...

Re: Found Cory Eggs

All 300 hatched!! They all made it on a 2 hour drive, too! They're swimming around in my 10 gallon. It's been 48 hours since they began hatching. I put a small amount of hikari first bites in the tank this morning and it looks like they didn't touch it. They're also not very active. Does this mean ...

Re: Found Cory Eggs

Oh and I ended up dosing 4mL of H2O2 and it seems to have taken some of the fungus away (it was fun watching it react with the fungus and releasing the oxygen bubbles). I see black eyes on a lot of the eggs! Hopefully tomorrow turns out okay, I'll keep you all posted.

Re: Found Cory Eggs

Your setup looks so much better! Unfortunately I am between a rock and a hard place. I was called away to Portland, I leave tomorrow afternoon for 2 weeks - it is a 2 hour drive. This means I have to figure out what to do with the eggs and my fish. Here's what I have already put in motion: I trimmed ...

Re: Found Cory Eggs

I'm in a similar situation as you. A couple of days ago a nice weather front came through my area and I found 300+ albino C. aeneus eggs. I'm using Primed tap water as well and running a sponge filter in a 2.5 gallon tank. I found an old bottle of Methelene Blue, but my eggs are still fungusing. I ...

Found Cory Eggs

Hello! In researching how to care for Cory eggs and fry I found this website, which means I'm new here! I came home one day to find that my Corydoras Aeneus had laid 300+ eggs in my heavily planted 10 gallon aquarium. I have never kept eggs/fry before, and I would like to give it a shot. I have read ...
