My Cories Laid Eggs!

[ziggyboy]

Ok um... I'm totally inexperienced with frys having only gotten into the hobby recently but my 2 bronze cories have got eggs all around the tank glass. I estimate about 100-200 eggs laid. They're on a 10 gallon tank with a betta (tansferred from the 5 gallon). At the moment I'm cycling a 4 foot tank and the spare 5 gallon. Will the betta or cory eat the fry when they hatch??

I'm thinking of transferring the betta and cories back to the 5 gallon with the hang-on filter and use an air pump for the frys. Will these frys generate enough ammonia? Any suggestions???

First spawning of corys usually gives a low success rate of hatching anyway but you need to decide if you want to keep and raise them or not. If you do, you need to get a breeding net fast because yes the corys will eat the fry if you leave it. Yazan is right though, post in the corydoras section for more detailed advice.

Good Luck
