That's what they look like at least. There's about 20 or so little tiny red spheres on the mopani drift wood I put in 3 days ago. I would have taken pictures, it's just the water is too dark from the tannins and the eggs are so tiny that I doubt you could see them in the pictures. I've never had a pet breed before. It would be so cool to raise babies. I'll try to get pictures tomorrow, but I doubt it any of the pics would come out.

Questions: How do I care for babies? I have a 2.5 mini bow I'm thinking of putting them in once hatched and leaving that one bare bottomed. The eggs are in the 12 gallon with a male betta and 7 white cloud minnows. I have the betta in one of those netted breeder box thingies. I have another breeder box just like it. I'm thinking of putting the white clouds in that one and only leaving the pandas with free range of the tank. What temp do the eggs need to hatch? I have no idea what I'm doing and wasn't planning on breeding any of my fish any time soon. I want to know everything there is to know about caring for baby cories.

Anyone? I gotta find out how to care for these guys.

I'm gonna be giving them away for free to anyone who wants them on here if any of the babies survive. I'll not count my chickens before they hatch though.. :P

Those are not cory eggs!
Corys have white eggs that are stuck all over the tank.
It must be the white clouds unless there is something else in the tank.
Got pics?

Nope just the betta, white clouds, and panda cories. I know it's not snail eggs. I've been spending a couple hours every few days or so scraping snail egg bunches from the sides of the tank. White cloud babies would be cool too. Took some pictures, but I can't even see the eggs in them. I have brown algae growin on the side of the tank. I wiped most of it away, but gave up on the stubborn spots.

It is the white clouds they breed quite easily. The eggs would be small and scattered.

They seem to be scattered but only on the wood.
