I have found these eggs stuck to the glass in my aquarium. I do not know who layed them. In my tank, I have two cherry barbs, two albino cories, two hatchetfish, one golden algae eater, random snails(whose eggs are nowhere near the size of these ones, and six guppies (who I know aren't the ones :-P). I have never had these before. One of my hatchets is new to my tank, and they dont seem to like each other. Ive had these two cherry barbs for about 1 yr and 8 months and the two cories for about 1 yr and 6 months. I know that one of my cherry barbs is female (browner) and the other is male (redder). I put some of the eggs in a breeding net so they would not get eaten and left some on the glass and put the breeder net in front of them. Please help!! And also what do I do if they hatch. I only know about guppy fry and no other types. [/font]

I think it may have been my cories. http://www.scotcat.com/factsheets/aeneus.html

That website shows a picture of two albinos with their eggs on the glass. Does anybody know how to successfully raise them?

they definately sound like cory eggs.

the fry will live off their yolk sacs for 3 days. after that feed the fry infusoria. when they get older start to feed them micro worms and then baby brine shrimp.

thats all i know. there are a lot of cory experts here who could probably give you better advice. good luck

The Corydoras laid the eggs.

Goodluck with the Corydoras fry & feed them some Microworms & later on Algae based foods.
