These eggs were laid 4 days ago. Do you think they will hatch. I have an almond leaves and airstone

They look viable but the pic isn't all that clear. One thing to look for are black dots in the eggs. These would be the eyes of the fry. You will need infusoria to feed them when they go free swimming. That or something similarly tiny. I used to keep Java Moss covered rocks in a few panted tanks and would move one into the egg/fry tank as that were close to absorbing all of their yolk sacs.

I do not do live foods, I used to. I breed a lot of plecos and the next best option to live, imo, is frozen. For fry I use Baby Brine Shrimp, rotifers and cyclops. I had a short span where I had angels breeding and the fry must have live food initially. But you could ween them onto the smaller frozen food by starting to mix the frozen and the live until the mix was all frozen after a week of this.

With cory fry the key to feeding them early on is that they need tiny food as they have very tiny mouths and stomachs. Btw, the only thing cuter than a cory fry is a pleco fry. ;)

Amber colored eggs "should" be fertile & hatch. But 4 days seems a longer time than I remember it takes. What species & what temp?

Yes, TTA, your plecos always win the fry cuteness award!
