Firemouth eggs!

[FluffySackson]

My female firemouth in my 30 gallon ( I thought she was a male ) just laid eggs but there's no male.....the only other fish are some corys and a pictus grow out. What should I do with the eggs? Should I buy a male from my LFS?

The eggs won't make it in time for a male to fertilize. There is no guarantee the female will accept a new male. If she does they would start all over w/ a new batch of eggs. The cories might eat the eggs.

She will eventually eat them when they fungus over, if the tankmates don't get to them first.

Yup. The corys ate them.
