Cory eggs on a snail

[James0816]

What's the best way to remove them?

Been a very long time buy my cories have finally laid some more eggs. I have retrieved about 15 of them at moment and moved them into a small container with java moss. As an added measure, I placed that container inside a breeder net. This will enable me to change the water better without having to worry about losing the eggs.

Anyway, just now I found a ramshorn with 9 eggs on its shell. I have placed it in the breeder net without exposing them to air. Now I need to figure out a way to remove the eggs off the shell. I don't want the snail to be climbing above the water line.

my cory eggs were very tough once they had time to harden, and i just rolled them off the glass until they stuck to my finger instead, maybe if you hold mr snail and rub his shell gently on the inside of the breeder net they will stick to the net instead. hehehe i have to admit i did find it quite funny reading this. but im sure they will come off very easily, mine were fine once i had rolled them off and transferred them to a small tank, and the 2nd batch hatched out 2 days ago, so it didnt affect the eggs at all. good luck.

How did I not see this thread? I find the situation very amusing.:lol: Cory eggs on ramshorn's shell?:rofl:

Yeah , just rub them with your finger and they will come off.
I'm in the process of hatching my 3rd batch of eggs in the past 3-4 weeks. Just got another batch 2 days ago of 160 eggs. This is fun

how big is the ramshorn? I didn't know they got big enough to be capable of holding 9 cory eggs.... you sure they are from the cories?

The only thing I get are snail eggs layed on other snails. God luck with your cory spawn.
