Hi there,

Im new to the whole world of fish keeping, have had my tank for about 3 months now and yesterday morning i noticed on the glass what appeared to be little bubbles, after scouring the internet I guessing they are fish eggs. But! what next? I have no idea who's eggs they are, do i need to find that out? do i take the eggs out of the tank ? arghh! so confused please help!!!!

Ok i currently have-

10 Cardinal neons
3 peppered corys
5 rocket pencils
2 bristle nose pelcos
4black phanton tetras
5 emerald eye rasboras
5spotted danios
4 khooli loaches

Hopefully that helps! i tried looking in the tank to see if there were any other eggs but it mainly seems like the 5 or six bunches on the glass

Any snails? Most snails lay eggs on the glass in aquaria

sounds like cory eggs to me. Google "cory eggs" and see if that looks like what you have.

yes indeed just googled it and they do look like cory eggs! ok so now i do need to get the eggs out of the way of all my other fish or do i just leave them there? i have read about breeding nets i think it was, or some stuff says to get another tank! so confused!!!

Cory cats spawn fairly often in aquariums, but raising fry successfully is a completely different story. Lot of time and effort would be involved, and another tank would be much more likely to work than a net breeder.

thanks everyone for your help, indeed they were cory eggs, i didnt manage to save a large amount but i managed to get a few and now have 20 fry that are just under 1cm living in a small seperate tank. they are getting big quickly! more of a suprise i was watching my tank the other night with a lights off and i saw a juvi corry appear, he is about 2cm and somehow has managed to survive and grow in the tank!! he must just sneak out at night and have a snack!
