Bronze Cory immediately ate eggs

[AilyNC]

I just spotted some eggs on my glass and immediately the bronze cories came up to eat them. There's none left now on the glass. No time to get a fry/egg set up ready. I wonder should I?

I would say yes if you can .I was just about to go to bed last night at 11:30 and I discovered some . Got them set up by 12 .And then there was a other 15 or more this morning which I saved although dropped a few lost to the sand

Don't own tights need to scroll through threads for a solution. I can only keep them in the main tank in a breeder box type set up. My box has too big gaps I'd say for eggs.

I haven't used my tights setup yet .not until they hatch please god . Because I have them in a small plastic Tupperware box with meth blue and an airstone ,clipped inside my main tank .

If they were in the breeder net the meth blue would be no good .that's my thinking anyway

Hmm. I'm melafix - not sure if they'd do. Tins of tubberware

Awesome! Really hope they all hatch ok - corys are cute enough, but baby corys?...

I don't know I'm scared my 58L currently has 14 platy fry of different sizes. Poor tank has ended up a fry grow out tank

Clip a container to the side of the tank, add water from the parent tank, add an airstone with alder cones or meth blue.

If your house temperatures are above 70F you can even keep the container separate, just with the airstone and such. House the fry in that till big enough to go to the growout.

I had a hospital tank set up before with no heater and tank temp stayed at 21 degrees so bit shy of 70F. I'll keep them in main tank if any hatch and they can sit in container until I can transfer.

I think one of my WCMM looks full of eggs.

How do they survive as a species when they eat the eggs

 

[Colin_T]

feed the fish more and they will be less likely to eat the eggs.

Mine don’t eat the eggs until the spawning fun is over. I have eggs almost everyday. Just moved some more over to the nursery tank a minute ag. I. If you can get them through the first week of life, they seem to really take off and grow. Sadly, I only get about 2-4 survivors out of each spawn.
