Fishy101 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Hello! I just saw my green Cory lay bunches of eggs in my aquarium. It’s a ten gallon with some tetras (rosys and black phantoms, two other Cory’s, and a couple rasboras). I have never had baby fish before so I have no clue what to do but very excited! I noticed when we got the Cory it was very fat but they never told us anything, and have had her for 2ish weeks. Added a bunch of plants yesterday, but some of them got uprooted and her eggs are on them, is that ok? They are also on the walls and some other plants. I have so many questions: when will they hatch can they stay in that aquarium with the other fish is having an aerator fine and do I need a sponge filter should I leave the uprooted plants food? do I need another tank for them? how many should I expect how Should I do water changes temperatue? (Right now it is at around 76.2 degrees) and many more hahah I read that I have to take them out but I only have a little one gallon bowl right now and I don’t want to hurt them… so any tips Since I got her from the store recently she just laid and they are a whitish color, is that ok? Because some people said they should be more beige Any information is much appreciated! Edited February 10, 2022 by Fishy101 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy101 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Thanks. Here are some photos. I heard that if they are a whitish/translucent they are not fertilized, and since I’m not sure if I have males in my tank I’m not sure. When I got her I think she was already pregnant though… so not sure. Since they were just hatched is this normal and should I just watch them or are they not fertilized?

Fish Folk Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Use 1/2 ml. 3% H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) just the smallest amount… fights off fungus Edited February 10, 2022 by Fish Folk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I use a 5-in airline attached to a liquid medicine syringe from Walmart to suck out infertile eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
