Setting up the fry tank Thursday! Might breed them before then and just have the eggs in a breeder net.

First spawn tonight!!! Completely unattempted too, lol 
. Spawning lasted about 4 hours and sadly only the one female was "in-the-mood" so I only got around 25 eggs, actually crushed about 5-6 since I'm new to breeding Corys and didn't know the eggs were so delicate so I would've had about 39 eggs had I been more careful, at least I know for next time. Didn't even have time to setup a fry tank yet so they're in a breeder net in the parent's tank until I can setup a 10 gallon on Thursday. Can't wait to see how the fry turn out as far as genetic traits

Congrats bro! Yesterday I got a pair of marble convicts and they litterally spawned the next morning
Lol
Found another 5 eggs when I woke up but unfortunately they wouldn't stick to the yarn I've been peeling the others off with so they fell to the sand and a male ate them. Still have 25 though
Got a 40 egg spawn on Monday and both females were spawning finally but every egg has decomposed in the fry tank since then. Still not one fry from this endeavor! I'm probably going to get rid of the group towards the end of the month since I'm wanting fish I can actually breed. Don't know why the eggs just won't hatch. Not even my local Cory expert can say why after observing my setup, must just be the fish.
