Type of eggs?

[Sarah1978]

Hello,

This is my partners tank. There are some eggs the white ones have appeared today. He has a few different snails and two corydoras of different species (we know now u probs shouldn’t do that) but we aren’t sure who’s eggs they are. Any help would be appreciated.

Wow the Corys have done a good job.

Hi and welcome to the forum

They appear to be Corydoras eggs.

What species of Corys do you have ?

Albino and peppered but only one of each so I thought it unlikely to be them. I also heard a rumour albinos are sometimes infertile

What species is the albino? They can be bronze, peppered, and I think one or two other species. If your albino is a peppered, you have 2 cories of the same species and if one is male and the other female.........

This could be highly unlikely but what if they decided to hybridize?

 

[DoubleDutch]

I think I see two different types / colors of eggs so I think both are female and the eggs won't be fertilised.

There are no hybrids aeneus × paleatus known to me. Think they are too far apart to be able to do so.

But the albino could be a Corydoras paleatus, the same species as the peppered cory. That's why we need photos of them both.

Correct, but then you wouldn't have two kinds of eggs IMO.

One is Albino and the other isn't

I missed the two different coloured eggs Looking again, there are pink eggs and white eggs

 

[Colin_T]

have you got any other fish in the tank?
the red/ pink eggs look like cichlid eggs, maybe angelfish?

I believe the albino might be blind and has some sort of back problem. I can’t get a photo of the peppered as it swims away to quick I hope this screenshot from a video is enough.
