Help! catfish have laid eggs

[Aussie22]

I did a water change on Sunday and last night we saw that the catfish have laid some eggs.

Can anyone give me some advice on what to do now?

Do i leave them in the tank?

Move them on the leaves to a breeding box?

I have platys, guppy's, harlequins, neons, zebra danios and pearl gouramis in my tank as well.

The tank must be doing alright as in last 7 days we have had guppy and platy fry!!!

Any assistance help would be very much appreciated.

first off, what kind of catfish?

Okay, this is going to seem pretty stupid but i am not too sure

They are pink though, if this helps.

nope no help whatsover. By the sounds of it, it might very well not even be a catfish !
Why don't you look on Planet Catfish and flick through all those L-numbers and let us know more or less what it looks like. Or Post a photo of it if you can.

Albino Corydoras?

Is that it?

Either ways, with the fish you've got in right now, the eggs and fry will be eaten right away. A cycled small tank to hatch the eggs in would definatly be a must if you'd want to hatch them. Though, chances are the eggs aren't furtilised and won't hatch anyway.

yep, that's them! Albino's.

We have moved some of the eggs to the breeding box. Is this right or what.

The catfish were going abslutley mad yesterday evening swimming up and down the tank.

There are still some left in the tank on leaves and the other fish at the moment do not seem to interested in them.

Any help on saving the eggs or what to do next time would be appreciated.

--Edit--

Corydoras females do lay eggs when there's no males in the tank as well. Which means they'll never hatch. Do you happen to know if you've got a male as well?

Well looking at them and the descriptions to tell them apart. I would definitely say that i have a male and a female. The female is definitely more rounded!
