Eggs!

[hanny93]

Just fed my fish and I noticed about 50 or so eggs on the back wall of the tank. What can I do to hatch them other than put them in a new tank as I don't have one handy at the moment.

I have a feeling they're bronze cory eggs, as they don't look like gourami eggs!
Any help is greatly appreciated!

they will be fine in a tub for now, pop an airstone in to keep the water moving to prevent fungus.

they will be cory eggs as gourami are bubblenesters

In a tub? What, just an icecream tub? Won't that annoy the other fish?

And yeah I looked it up on Google, definately not gourami eggs!

They haven't been eaten yet, will they get eaten or could I just leave them in the main tank?

They will likely get eaten if they're on the glass. My albinos are always laying eggs on the tank and I've never had any surviving fry. My peppered corys however lay eggs under the wood and among plants, and I have had 4 fry grow up in the tank.

If you take them out, any small tub will do (I use a small plastic tank for hatching, maybe 8 litres) but keep it somewhere with a stable temp and add an airstone as suggested, when they hatch you can add a small air powered sponge filter. Remove any fungus covered eggs etc daily with a pipette or similar. Good luck.
