Harley Boraras Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I've been finding these eggs on my tank walls and bacopa leaves for 4 days running. The first day I scraped them off and put them into an isolation tank thinking they might develop. I'm not sure whether they've been fertilized or from which of my fish they're from. I'm guessing the corys but not sure. Any tips on identifying when they're fertilized and from which species they might be from would be appreciated. I have harlequin rasboras, ember tetras, green rasboras, strawberry rasboras, endlers, bronze corys, cherry shrimp and a bristlenose pleco. Many thanks 🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 These are Cory eggs. I’m learning how to determine fertile or not myself so I’m happily following along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 For sure, Cory eggs, and look fertile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy means fungused or bacterial infection. Sometimes they will just look blurry and not have a big blob around the egg. Do you see how it’s kind of clear with a white speck in it? That’s fertile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some in my isolation tank already that look a bit fuzzy. Thanks very much for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
