Corydoras Eggs

Good day guys and girls.

So my Cory's in the shrimp tank decided to spawn today and lay a ton of eggs everywhere. I notice the shrimp sitting on them, I'm guessing they are feasting. Any chances the eggs will survive.

Livestock:
Ghost shrimp
Cherry shrimp
Chocolate shrimp
Blue shrimp
Cory pandas x2
Bronze Cory x1
Albino cory X 2

Some snails (mts, nerite, Ramshorn, assassin)

Thanks in advance, I'd love to see this through so my daughter can watch them go through the cycle

 

Should have acted immediately lol.

Shrimp and assassin's went insane chomping the eggs .






For now they in a hatchery but I think they already all lost.

 

I may be wrong but I dont think shrimp eat fertilized eggs, only dead and unfertilized ones.

 

Thanks. And assassin snails would though from what I've read online.

 

In my experience, snails (especially assassins) and corries will eat the eggs.
Also, those look white still am I correct? Fertilised eggs will turn brown in colour

 

They are actually brownish in colour with a white spot in the middle. Let me try and get a better picture

 

Can see a bit here

 

They're in a little breeder box floating on the top of the tank. Has some flow going through it as well

 

Noticed some shrimplets were born today and crept their way into the hatchery so think they might eat em... Still no eggs have black in them just a white centre so I'm guessing that they're infertile

 

One clutch of 5 eggs has some fungus growing around it. The rest are all free of fungus

 

All eggs turned fungus. Fed em to the ghost shrimp and have the tank a little clean. Maybe in the future they'll breed again

 

Sorry to hear! Apparently if you put rooibos tea with the eggs that helps prevent fungus.. But what I used to do was put them in a bottle with an air stone as a makeshift egg tumbler and kept that in the same tank so temps remained the same and just did very regular water changes. I can't remember if I also made holes for water circulation too..

 

I was actually thinking of doing this. I've used a makeshift tumbler for my Cichlids before so I'm comfortable with making one

I managed to watch this in my tank.

 

Why does the removing of pics don't work can someone please remove the pics I post.

 

I think only admins can remove posts..

I must see if I can get methlyn blue here. Also they have not spawned since so I guess they too are over it lol
