First off, sorry to everyone, i haven't been posting or reading to tff as much as i should :\ life intervenes sometimes...
Anyway, i've got a good question for you all:
I have a 10 gallon FW pretty heavily planted tank (2 dwarf onions, lizard tail ivy, masses of javamoss (help its taking over!), several java ferns, and two corkscrew vallis (i think thats what it is, small corkscrew shaped green grass). I'm currently housing one betta (yes he's still alive, his name is Sammy Davis) and 4 cory cats (somewhat dissapointed, i've kept the gravel as clean as i can and some mysterious fin/whisker rot has taken 3 from me over time). Sammy eats wardley betta food, and the cats eat hikiri sinking wafers (they seem to love the stuff ).
Things have been status quo the last week or two (one of the cories died about 2 weeks ago , same fin/whisker rot) and i just performed a water change, probably 2 days ago.
I noticed this morning though, a cluster of 6 clearish/whitish small spheres (about a millimeter in diameter) and several spots where it looks like they were on the glass up near the top left in the flow of the HOB filter.
I can't remember where i read it, but i read a breeding journal of cory cats and seem to remember thats how they laid eggs, stuck to the glass. (hows that work anyway, my cories don't float that well, and dont cruise the glass that high, especially in flow of the filter)
Are these eggs do you think? If they are, how can i tell if they're viable? Also, if they are viable, how might one go about raising them i'd like to have a few more cories you know
Anyway, thanks for reading, look forward to your advice
PS Sorry again for being MIA for so long...
