fertile, and info on fungus on eggs. Would someone please inform me again?
Is their a way to move eggs into breeder container? Thanks in

this are probably Cory eggs if stuck on the side glass. If you plan to try
and hatch them I would suggest removing them into a small container ( I use
small Tupperware containers which I float in the tank). add some meth. blue
to prevent fungus. If they turn white and fuzzy then they have funguses and
need to be removed. White with black spot normally indicates a fertile egg
developing. If you are able to hatch out small Cory's it is important to
remove the hatched egg shell with an eyedropper or surette as these can
quickly foul the water. After 3 days you can begin feeding live BBS if that
is available to you.
