Aquarium Advice Freak
I had four new albino corys in quarantine for four weeks and just added them to my planted 55 gallon community tank yesterday afternoon. This morning, there are eggs all over the upright leaves of a cryptocoryne and I witnessed one of them carrying eggs between her pelvic fins. I know it happens pretty regularly with corydoras, but this is a first for me and I am very excited about it!
I want to try and raise them so I set up a 1 gallon bucket with tank water, tiny heater, air stone, and a bit of filter media. I removed an entire leaf that was loaded with eggs and hung it from the side of the bucket with a clothes pin. Will this work? I don't have a tank available so this is the best I can do. If they hatch and grow a bit, I can put them in with the platy fry I have. Any advice on caring for these if they do hatch? Should I do something else?
