Thats alot of eggs, I would take the infertile ones out as soon as you can as they'll fungus and spread to the healthy ones.

How do you get that many eggs from cory's?
Newbie question, I know, but mine like to eat their eggs. I get some caught in the mosses, but less than ten per day.

Thanks.
It depends on what cory species you are breeding, some produce hundreds of eggs, others only a few at a time. The biggest batch I had was at least 500 from one female C89 cory, they have very small eggs and put them on leaves approx 30 eggs at a time.

I like the black ones. How do you go about removing the eggs, i thought they were glued down?
I'd like to try keeping and breeding corydoras but not sure they will like my water, its a bit hard (GH11). What do you have to do to get them to breed?
