Cory eggs?

[dhvService]

Please confirm. I have 6 Cory, 3 different species. Tank mates are 5 Otocinclus, 6 White Skirt Tetra, 2 SAE, 1 Red Finned Shark and 10 Thousand Malaysian Trumpet Snails.

Who's the daddy?

This was a great surprise today. Most of the eggs are on the glass as has happened in the past, but this time the eggs are on a anubias that was I am able to trim and put in a breeder net. YAY! There are a few eggs on the front of the leaves, you should see how many are on the back. Maybe 4 times as many.

Any suggestions on how I should care for them?

yes, those look like Cory eggs

I'd pull them and incubate them so they can hatch in a separate tank. You'll have better survival. guide: http://www.corydorasworld.com/the_fish_house/egg_hatching_fry_raising

In terms of knowing which species? Can't. Not from the eggs, at least. Most cory eggs look the same, with a few exceptions in size.

Congrats, and good luck! (can't help with the eggs, the only thing my tanks breed are pest snails and guppies -_-)

I just hope they are not crossbred. I just finished reading this article from wetman over at the skepticle aquarist where he equates crossbreeding different species of cory as humans mating with chimps. I understand his point, and I am ashamed.

Yeah. Just like humans cross breeding with chimpanzees. More like chimps and bonobos (pan troglodyte and pan paniscus). It seems to me that he was going for a visceral reaction to his opinion.

Keep in mind that many people who have discus have multiple kinds, and discus are *much* pricier than cories, and no one seems to complain about possible hybridization. I know *I've* asked questions about it on this forum, and not a single person had anything cautionary to say about hybridization.
