Albino Corydora Eggs

[rybrows]

Just recently purchased a new 55l tank so i could house a male fighter and transfer 3 cordoras into it as tank mates.
 
Within a day i found loads of eggs on the side of the tank scattered all over. Decided id have a go at trying to raise some fry so went and bought a little floating hatchery box from a local store and some liquifry food.
 
So came back put the hatchery in the tank and carefully took the eggs off and placed them in it (would have done it naturally but the cats were nibbling away at the eggs so thought if i didn't act they'd all get eaten by the time they hatched.
 
Within 2 minutes of doing this 2 eggs had hatched, I'm guessing would have prematurely as probably damaged an egg or 2, literally looked like an egg for a head no features and a tiny tail. Half an hour later the fish had hatched have disappeared with no trace, I'm guessing they got through one of the grooves on the hatchery (seems a bit stupid if it was the case considering….) 
 
Anyways, I want to know what i can do to give the remaining eggs the best chance of hatching, would love to have some cat fry. Anything in particular i need to do, food, water temperature etc?
 
Any help appreciated!

Update -  realised that the hatching boxes grooves to let water in were just big enough for the fry to escape, so have come up with this, 2 litre bottle cut and then stabbed a few small holes in and placed the remaining eggs in. Since doing so a couple have hatched and are swimming about. Ive also moved air pump & stone as heard this can be beneficial.
 
Ignore the fighter he's just been an idiot ha!

Oh wow!
You're so lucky! I have albino cory eggs all the time but every time they have been infertile!
I've heard that they need to have some sort of water flow going over the eggs so they don't get fungus on them,
I bought a really fine mesh net from eBay for some danio fry, it did the job well as they are tiny little things like eye lashes, it may work for the cory fry also.
You can buy liquid fry with it too but some people don't like using this to feed fry as it pollutes the water but if you do regular water changes it should be ok until they are big enough for BBS.
Let me see if I can find the link

Yeh the eggs were a total shock! Im buzzing I just hope I can save 1 or 2, the cats were my favourite fish in the other tank was planning on buying more so this works out pretty cool!
I had to take the airstone out as think it was creating too much motion in the water and the fighter didn't like it, kept hiding behind the bottle so just turned it off and he's back to normal. So now the filters built in pump thats built in the back-points directly onto the bottle thats covered in holes so hopefully that will be enough air flow?

I have this net, the material is like a pair of tights so the fry can't escape through the holes.
There's the Option to buy fry food with it also.
Oh yeah that should be ok, as long as there's fresh water circulating around the bottle,
Love corys too, I have albino, bronze and peppereds, if I had more tank space I would definitely get more, they are funny to watch, I like the way they watch me as much as I watch them!
Good luck with the breeding project... Post more pics of them as they grow

Cool think ill invest in one of these for the next time, hopefully they will breed again!

Those breeding nets are not good for cory fry, they tend to get stuck under the plastic frame.
You can use the breeding box you already have, get a pair of tights or pop socks, ask your partner's permission before taking the scissors to them, & stretch it tightly round the box over the slits.
I've done that many times with some of mine & it works well.

What about feeding them? When do i start feeding them that liquid food? Seen somewhere shouldn't give them that on first few days?

 

[Lillefishy]

Don't feed for the first 2-3 days while they consume their egg sack, then you can feed tiny amounts.
Liquifry can quickly foul the water, I start with Hikari first bites for a few days then microworms followed by newly hatched baby brine shrimp
