What fish do you have in your tank?. If you list your fish, we might help you.

Thanks for your replies!

I have one bristlenose catfish, 1 tetra, 1 fish that eats algae. i dont quite know what its called! and of course my 2 albino cories...

i have put the eggs into an isolation tank (quite a difficult task i used a turkey baster!) and so far 5 hatched but they all died.. 1 more hatched over nite.. i read somewhere that the eggs get fungus on them.. i dont know what else to do! im feeding them liquidfry...

If the eggs have fungus, then just remove them & throw them away. Yes, you can feed them liquidfry, but don't pollute the water & do you have an airstone or a sponge filter with the fry?.

ok i just transeferred them all to a breeding net so they get air.. most of the eggs went furry so i got rid of them

the liquifry just goes through the net so does that mean they still get fed? sorry i sound like such a bimbo but ive never done this before!! is there anything else i can feed them?

You can feed them Live Brine Shrimp or Microworms. Very healthy & good food.
