Eggs

[penguin22]

In my smaller tank (see below) today I have discovered around thirty white eggs. Some of these are a dull colour some are bright and some seem to have hatched or maybee have been eaten. I have only had eggs once before from my cherry barbs which never hatched. I have made no special arrangements for these eggs which are attached to plants and glass. I am however very curious to know who has layed them. Neon tetras or corys?

Sounds like it might be cories.
I know when mine laid some eggs, she did it on plant leaves. They all got fungus on them though which stinks :\

Here is a pic of what they looked like

Yes the eggs are exactly the same! Ive only recently made the corys numbers up to three (used to be one of each) I really hope they are sterbai eggs, big cory sterbai(the original) is my favourite fish and it will surely have been her who laid them as the other corys are still juvaniles. Anyone know any tips of how to keep the eggs in good condition without moving them from the tank? ie do they like less light?

If all the others are juveniles, then they are likely unfertile as a juvenile cory male won't be able to enseminate her eggs.

Thanks for replying the other corys are only very small but at least big sterbai must be happy in the tank!

If they are the same as the ones in the pic then yes they are cory eggs, Neons are a lot harder to get to spawn and they're eggs are light sensitive and small and dispursed among fine leaved plants. Due to lighting they would not be viable. so yes you have some cory eggs.
Lets know how you get on with them
