Corydoras Eggs?

First time corydoras keeper here, had them couple months now and today noticed these spheres and wanted to get the opinion of more experienced fish breeders.

I have 6 corydoras cruziensis and from what I can tell there is a mix of males and females.

If they are eggs, what do I do?! 😂

Thanks!

Yep, those are Cory eggs! You can leave them and maybe a few will survive. Or you can pull and try hatching.

So glad I randomly bought a breeder box before I even had fish🤣

Managed to get five eggs set up in it. I am sure there are other eggs in the tank I didn't see but least these a have shot!

Super excited! Never breed anything before!

Well it looks like the first batch of eggs got fungus, wah wah no babies....yet!(I hope)

But I am finding new eggs all the time in the tank. Going to leave them and see what happens, plus I need to learn more about breeding corys

I believe my corys are still pretty young so fertilization success may be low I'm guessing.🤷‍♀️

Sorry to hear about the fungus. That happens. It's still awesome that they're laying eggs at all! Sometimes the best thing we can do is "nothing" and then one day you see free swimming fry!

You could also put some indian almond leaves in the breeder box with the eggs to help curb bacterial growth.

Congrats! I generally don’t have fungus with my paleatus. I tend to pull the eggs from the tank and put in a shoe box with a airline for a little aeration. They tend to hatch within 5-6 days. I feed either first bites or live bbs. They seem to be really hardy fry for me.
