How often do cories spawn/lay eggs?

[Mrs.h2012]

My Cory laid eggs about 3 days ago. They all got white and fuzzy and never changed color so I cleaned out my 10g and got rid of the eggs. Is it possible for her to be ready to lay more eggs? I just fed them and her and two other cories are acting crazy active and just like they were before she laid her eggs earlier this week.

I find sterbai eggs about every 7-10 days. Not always from the same female though. I pull mine out and put them in a breeder box with cherry shrimp. They can't eat the eggs but they constantly are cleaning them. I hardly get any that turn fuzzy. Try it, it works great

It depends how many you have. If you have a group of 6 then maybe every 7 days by different females.

It's a group of 4 that's spawning. I have a total of 8 cories; 4 bronze and 4 peppered.

My corys just laid eggs and I don't know what to do. Some of them have been eaten already. Some eggs were laid on my thermometer so I can remove that easily; I just dont know where I would put it? What is methyl blue?

Methylene blue is a common fungicide. Don't treat the corys with it just the eggs.

I don't hjave another tank to put the eggs in that I would be be able to treat separately... There are about 80 eggs so I am not sure if they will eat them all...I made a certain batch of eggs completely inaccessible to the corys...If I get a few frys, how do I feed them? Will the corys eat them once they hatch?

 

[Kaiuli]

Collect the eggs and place in a clean container. A plastic disposable bowl with no soap residue. I even scrub new ones as they sometimes have a film of somekind of chemical I mix a drop in an 8 oz tumbler and eye dropper some into the collection container with eggs. I do only 20 - 30 at a time so I just use an 8 oz plastic tumbler to hatch then use a larger one to house the fry for the first couple of weeks changing the container so that I can clean it daily.
Treat eggs for just a day or so.

isit the same for pepper cory's ?

I've used this with C. pygmaeus, C. weitztmani, C. simillis and C. paleatus. It's easier to keep the eggs clean and the very young fry once they hatch. With the fry I have several containers on hand and switch them out every day. I drain out most of the water and detritus carefully then pour the fry into the new one. I treat the used container with a 10% chlorox solution and let sit a day before rinsing out followed by another day or so of drying. By then most or all of the chlorox residue is gone. You can treat with a dechlorinator to be safe.
