i think my corys laid eggs again! - Aquarium Advice

amitnarain · 09-06-2005, 05:04 AM

see these photos. the eggs are all on my power filter. some eggs have turned white and some are translucent with disting white thing inside. what should i do now? do i take them off and put them separately? or should i leave them there and collect the small ones as they are born?

about a week ago i had some eggs from my corys. i secluded them in a bowl in the same tank with an airstone. but after a few days the eggs all turned bad.

i want to try to save the new eggs now. what should i precisely do?

also see the photos i have taken and tell me anybody whether the eggs are good or bad if possible.

thank u .

They do look like cory eggs. To move them, clean your hands well and carefully pick them out. They are pretty firm (at least mine were but mine weren't fertile). Here are some aritcles on breeding cories.

the cory that gave birth just died. it was an albino.

about a week ago , another albino cory gave birth and also died.

what could be causing this? are the deaths common in albino cory after laying eggs? what can i do to save them if my other corys give birth?

I have no idea. Laying eggs shouldn't kill them.

amitnarain · 09-06-2005, 10:54 AM

does anybody have an idea why they always die after laying eggs then?

well. yyyyaaaaahhhhhoooooooooo!!!

ive got 13 small cory up to now. more on the way. ive separated them and put them in a bowl inside the same tank with an airstone to preserve the temperature.

ive also added some tiny food.

what can i do now to raise all well?

is mortality rate for albino corys high?
