ChefConfit Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 So last week I came home and saw my 2 assassin snails I haven't seen in months both out then the next day my rocks were covered in assassin snail eggs. Tonight I got home and noticed different eggs all over the glass and on plants too! Are these corydoras eggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3vi1p3nguin Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Based on your pictures, that's my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostiesFishes Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 They look like corydoras eggs to me. What type of corydoras are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChefConfit Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 I have 3 peppered and one emerald in the tank. What is the likelihood that any fry will survive in my community tank. Other tank mates are 1 guppy, 12 neon tetras, 5 otos and 1 blue dream shrimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the likelihood that any fry will survive in my community tank. Other tank mates are 1 guppy, 12 neon tetras, 5 otos and 1 blue dream shrimp I would say the odds are extremely low, almost zero, that any fry could survive in your community tank. When Corydoras fry first hatch, they are tiny, tiny little things (you can hardly see them), and even neon tetras, as small as they are, would have no trouble scarfing them down. If you want to save any, you should probably consider coming up with a way to separate them. I just removed a plant leaf with a few Corydoras eggs last Sunday and had a few of them hatch in a plastic container (with an air stone) that I'm letting float in a tank.

Marc Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 If you remove the guppy and the neons I think you have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolstoy21 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) My salt and pepper corys spawn constantly in my community tank. Over the course of 2 1/2 years about 20 have made it to adulthood. The more cover you have, the greater their chances. I had the most survive when my dwarf sag carpet was out of control and super dense. One day I pulled out all the sag and was surprised by how many young corys were hiding in there. The other day I watched a couple deposit and fertilize eggs on the glass while a third cory followed right behind them and ate half the eggs as they were being laid. So odds are definitely against them, but over time, given adequate cover, some find a way to survive. Edited October 24, 2020 by tolstoy21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
