R.I.P eggies

This morning i found eggs in my tank agianst the side of the tank....sadly the pangasuis made a meal of them within 5 miniutes...

i saw it to late...

 

Now that is sad! The joy of the discovery and then...alas! Holding thumbs for next time!

 

i feel crushed right now.... I think it was my cory that laid the eggs...
And i do not have another tank for breeding

 

I know that feeling

I have 2 GreenTerrors that tried to breed 3 times,first time they got all the way to the free swimming stage and then the next day they got eaten,second time they laid eggs and ate it the next day,same thing on the 3rd time.

Male still displays for the female but she wants nothing of it.

 

@Kieshara -if you saw the eggs it wasn't too late. You got to act straight away and remove the eggs manually or clip the leaves off from any plant the eggs were laid on.
If you haven't got a second tank, put the eggs in a small tupperware with some water and let it float in your main tank. The fry will hatch within a few days (depending on the type of corry you have).
But don't despair, the female should lay eggs again in a few days and you should be better prepared this time around.

@JCL

i saw it when the shark catfish ate it... And its bronze cory ...

 

Don't worry, they'll spawn again frequently. It's unlikely though that the fry will survive in a tank with predators. Even in my tank with only corys and plecos, only a handful make it. Just the way it is.

 

I believe that in a community tank the chances of survival are slim, not only because of 'predators' but because of a lack of the right (size) food for the newly hatched little wigglers.

I was fortunate to have a spell of spawnings (5 in a row @4-5 days interval) as of late.
I didn't do anything, it just happened (yes I read some people are trying to make it happen via a number of methods like dropping water temp ...etc). I just noticed eggs and quickly removed them.
First time lucky, my first lot gave me about 48 surviving wigglers, next batch 11, third batch only one (out of 60-70), me thinks 'bad sperm' for batch 2+3; -batch 4 and 5 each about 30.
So now I have just over 100 bronze cories from 5mm to 1.5cm and am slowly mastering the art of decapsulating bs eggs -Lol

After 5 spawnings the parents decided to give me a rest.

@Kieshara -good luck for the future.
Hatching them is the easy part, raising them is a lot more work ;-)
