Found these stuck to the back of my tank today and all over the vallis, are these cory eggs? Only cory I have are sterbai. If they are what do I do with them because once they hatch can't see them making it past my black widows.

They are Sterbai eggs. I have a group of 9 in one of my tanks and the eggs are the same.
You would be best to put them into a fry saver with an air stone. ( just watch the black widows don't suck the eggs through the fry saver though)

well I have put them in a suitable trap with an airstone and will see what happens. Found a lot more than 9 eggs in my tank most of them I assume hatched as there was a hole in each of them. So I don't know what the hell is swimming around my tank along with all the bristlenose babies.

Thanks for the advice.

i eat loads of icecream so always have a tub handy:lol: any tub that floats when about half full.

i find a blue 2L walls icecream tub floats well when only filld half way. add a airstone wrapped in filter wool and you have a micro filter.

its all im using and am doing well with it.
do a waterchange on the parents tank and then use tank water for the waterchanges....i can post a little video if u like

Any help appreciated, yeah post a vid. Too much ice cream would make me sick, I do go through a lot of mayflower chinese curry powder but the tubs are only small. Good for storing food though.

Would asda smart price ice cream tubs do or do they have to be posh walls ones lol.

Ok lol right yesterday my head was a bit fuzzy. Sorry if I misread anything or didn't read it or thought I read it. Clear head today.

Thanks for the videos.

I have 10 adult Sterbai in my community tank and lots of eggs, each piece of vallis has about 6 eggs in a group. Probably found about 20 lots look either picked at or hatched but haven't had a proper look.
