i usually get someone else holding a large net in the water while i'm removing the eggs then they catch any floaters for me
i only ever roll them up the glass with my finger i find i'm less likely to damage the eggs that way

remember to keep the eggs well aerated - with a good water flow else they will develop fungus

good eggs turn beige colour - bad eggs stay white and go fluffy

Hi lordtrini

Cory eggs are sticky and soft when they are first put on the glass. Within a few hours they will firm up and lose most of the stickiness. At this point it will be difficult to move them.

While they are sticky, you can simply roll them off the glass and onto your finger. Then gently roll them onto the surface you want them to hatch on. Move an airstone near or under them so that there is good water circulation around them. This will help to prevent fungus from setting in.

I don't recommend using a net to hatch cory eggs; a (large size) hard sided specimen container such as this one works better.

Hi pippoodle

These are the same thing as the containers they hang inside the display tanks and keep bettas in. The large size is big enough to put an airstone in without causing too much disturbance to the eggs. If your lfs doesn't stock them, perhaps they can order one for you.
