Bronze Cory Eggs

[Beardedbillygoat1975]

Came home Monday night to one of the panels of my 45 g plastered with what appeared to be coryadoras eggs. I have a group of bronze corys so it made sense. The eggs on the glass were being enjoyed by the community but there were nice groups of eggs on the Amazon sword plant adjacent to the area. I grabbed those leaves and placed them in specimen container with 2 drops of meth blue and air line oxygenating the water with 2 blue dream shrimp to act as nanny’s. The eggs are not fungusing up but they are going bright white. Unfortunately, I think they weren’t fertilized. There are a 100 or so eggs on the 3 leaves and on the bottom of the container. Should I give it a few more days or call it quits? Here’s some pics:

Fertile eggs stay light tan. Infertile ones go bright white.

Hard to tell from the pics, but personally, I would give it a couple days.  If it doesn't work out for you this time, have no worries, once they start spawning it will be a regular occurrence.

I can definitely see living embryos in most of those eggs. Scrape off any that is on the glass and put them in your specimen jar with the others but be prepared to feed them finely crushed flake food or pureed earthworms as soon as they are free swimming. If left in the tank, the parents will eat them almost as soon as they hatch. Good luck.

Fed a lot of high protein food baby brine, frozen tubifex, blood worms and lots of krill and spirulina flake. Very excited eve if this time doesn’t work out.
