What else is in the tank? Lots of fish (including the parents, sometimes) find eggs and fry tasty. If you have plenty of vegetation and hiding places, some may make it.
I have tetras in with my cories, so I remove the eggs if I want to keep the fry. I keep them in a bowl until they hatch (5-6 days for my pandas), and have a separate fry tank where I put the babies after they hatch.
Good first foods are microworms, frozen baby brine shrimp, and finely crushed flakes. They won't need to eat for a couple days after hatching, as they are using up their yolk sac.
Excellent water quality is key to keeping the fry alive. For my fry tank, I do a 50% water change with vacuuming, daily.
Congrats on the eggs- your cories must be happy! What kind are they?

not sure really my parents just came home with them one day..i didnt plan or though about any of my fishes laying eggs. i have neons,rummynose,otos. but yeah i dont know what to do with the eggs since i dont have any extra tank setup for the fry.
thank you soobie i was pretty excited when i saw the eggs but then i got upset because i didnt have a spare tank and i thought about them not making it. i do have some hiding places in my tank and i hope some will make it that will be so cool

That is cool, congrats! Mine laid eggs the other evening as well. There were eggs everywhere. The snails took care of them quickly, unfortunately.
