My Corys went a little mad today and im having a nightmare trying to count the eggs i peeled off the side of the tank and put in a net.

Whats your best guess? :D

I think more like 500 :hyper:
 
Only the parents know :lol:

Congratulations , Tizer :D
 
Im sad and today is a little slow at work....

I got up to 1000 in photoshop, clicked a few more where i knew there was a two layers, oh and i missed a few. Each colour is 100. :|

If these make it past a few months, im gonna need a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig tank :eek:

Probably all mysteriously vanish like my last lot again though!

wow that is a few, hehe,,, you can see some already turning white with fungus, be careful, try to remove these with very small tweezers if you can, otherwise the fungus will spread, have you raised them before or first time with eggs?
 
Yeah i've raised some before, i normally give them 24 hours before i remove any white ones. Only problem this time around is the lack of filter to run another tank. I have a 12x8x8 tank which i'll use after 5/6 weeks of them being in a net with a Jad sponge filter i have thats maturing inside my main external filter. That tank would probably only last a few weeks then i'll have to step it up again....

It might be a bit of a mission this time around so if half them are not fertile, i'll honestly be quite happy about it. Even if i only come out with a few dozen :)

Im a little unsure about which corys laid them all too, i know i have 3 chunky breeding bronze females, but 1000 eggs...thats quite a lot, i'm hoping as the fry mature i might spot something else....but you know what they say....dont count your chickens before they hatch! I could get home tonight and find them all useless :)
