WHO is laying eggs???

[melby1980]

Here is the deal....

I have a 75 gallon tank
residents are a 12-13" Shubunkin
3 Pangasius cats ranging from 6"-12" and
an albino cory cat.

So who is laying eggs on the side of my tank??

I read that pangasius do not breed in captivity....

3 Pangasius cats ranging from 6"-12" would be my guess

thanks, that's what I am thinking.... the eggs will be gone by morning if not the end of the night regardless. I just found it amusing because I saw them earlier and thought it was messy fingerprints on the outside of the tank from my 2 year old son lol went to clean the "fingerprints" off and was like "No Way!" lol

i would say the cory cat. I've read numerous reports of cories laying the eggs and caring for them off the side of the tank.

I would not think of pangasius cats as the ones doing this as it doesnt seem like a natural thing for them.

the cory

ok thanks lol surprised they are still there this morning! lol would have thought the shubunkin would have them devoured by now.

cory cat They lay them on the glass or flat vertical surfaces usually.

+1 on cory cat, if it is female and the only cory, it is depositing infertile eggs.

Wayy better than being eggbound.
