Well, I was watching one of my cory's doing their normal zooming around the tank and looked at the thermometer and the plant leaf next to it and this is what I found! I'm pretty sure they are cory eggs. I know nothing about hatching them or if they will even hatch in my tank. Any special info I should know?

Look like healthy cory eggs to me. They will hatch (judgeing by the photos), but most will be eatten by your fish. You can take them out and hatch in another tank, or just let nature do it's trick and a few (hopefully) will survive.
 
I just ran to the store to pick up something to keep them in. They are now in one of those net breeder box things that hang in the tank. I held it under the water and moved the thermometer and baby plant the eggs were on in it and hung it in the same area where they were laid. I don't really know what I'm doing so I hope it works out. I didn't want them to get eaten! My celestials staring at them like :drool:
 
You got the right idea, they should do fine in that net. Feeding hatchlings needs some attention, they sell powdered fry food, but I think there are better but less convenient options like baby brine, etc. Good luck with them

Thanks, I was hoping the net breeder would work well. I got it thinking it would be the best thing to use to not disturb the eggs too much. As for feeding, I've got Hikari First Bites that I picked up when I bought a fry tank which ended up a Betta tank :wall: I suppose I'll be buying another fry tank for these guys soon. I bought some filter media today and added a second one to my cycled filter to switch over to the fry tank when I get it.

I'll be going to my lfs tomorrow to see about some other feeding options. How long after they hatch do I start feeding?
