What Is Laying These "eggs"

[BLACK DOG]

I have around six collections of these "Eggs"? on the tank glass and two or three on the underside of the plant leaves.
What is producing them ?

Definitely eggs...

Do have any cories? They look like cory eggs to me.

 

[Bungy]

Yep, id go along with that too. If they are you can scrape them off with a sharp knife, put into a home made egg tumbler (air line into coke bottle) and in 3 days they will hatch. feed on Microworm.

Cory eggs!

 

[BLACK DOG]

Oh dear it must be those 5 mad bronze corys doing it, they seem to do it every week won't be able to save this huge batch as I haven't got a spare air pump to do as Bungy has suggested, will have to take a trip to my LFS in the next few days.

ZoddyZod I have just noticed that you are in Surrey where?

can you explain the 'egg tumbler' thing in a bit more detail please. I've got a pair of bronze cory's that are forever doing their thing and if I see eggs I want to save them this time. I had just one cory fry but it got eaten

 

[BLACK DOG]

I'll second that, with diagram for the not so brilliant ones Thanks

An Egg Tumbler is a device to simulate the conditions from a mouth brooding fish (one thet keeps its eggs in its mouth to protect them). Its basicly a bottle with an air tube in so the bubbles move the eggs about very gently.

I will try to find a link.

hmm ... I think it would be easier to try catch the fry in my breeding net ... it's sounds a bit complicated and a recipe for a trip to A&E for clumsy ole me lol

if the eggs dont get eaten the fry will by the time they are free swimming. best to take the eggs out of the tank if you want fry.
