Found corydoras eggs what should I do

[ewan]

I found about 50 corydoras eggs when I came back from school in my 300 litre community tank and I was wondering what to do because I would like to have a go at raising them.

If you have a breeder net or a separate tank, then gently remove the eggs and wait 3-5 days for them to hatch. And when they hatch feed them small foods such as baby brine shrimp or hikari first bites. That's how I'm currently raising my fry. As I had a batch hatch just about a week ago

Thanks how do you know if the eggs have been fertilised or not?

If they are a little darker like beige, then they are fertilized. Or if they are on the the glass and you see a little dark dot in the middle, then they are

Hopefully they survive and hatch I could do with some more corydoras

Punctatus or peppered not sure which group it was both have shown some breeding behaviour

Ah, well the peppereds have a hatching time of 3-5 days after being laid
