Please can someone help me, I'm totally at a loss as to what to do. Woke up this morning and there are small eggs scattered all over the plants & glass, they are approx 2mm in size & single eggs, not in sacs so guessing they r not snails. 2 of my bronze corys were looking quite friendly last week but they are tiny, only around 3cm long, not sure at what point they mature? The tank contains 2 small bronze corys, 3 sterbai, also small. 3 emerald corys which are much bigger but spend all the time hiding! 1yoyo loach (awaiting friends when lfs has them), 2 bristlenose plecs, 3-4cm very small still & 2 dalmation mollys. I also have 15 large rcs & 4 assasin snails as well as a really big mystery snail that came in with plants.
So firstly who is the likely spawner? & what do I do now? Sure eggs will be eaten if I dont interfere. I have a floating breading tank I could put some in, the fish tank is full of plants so some might make it, or I could use the large gap behind my background which should be safe but quite tricky to get fish out again if they hatch. I can't spend any more money on another tank, funds are very low at the moment & having filter problems as it is.
This is totally unexpected, I havnt done anything to encourage this kind of behaviour, lol. If they do hatch I wouldnt even know what to do with them to find them a new home!
