Default Mystery eggs

|| I have 29gal tank with 2 silver dollars, 4 Black skirt tetra and 3
|| cories. Recently I've find scattered eggs on each wall of the tank.
|| They're white and in little groups. I have no snails in there that I
|| know of and can't figure out who laid these. I'm suspecting it's the
|| corys. Anyone have any idea? I don't expect them to hatch it's
|| mainly just to satisfy my curiosity.

Cory eggs, Ricks got some luck with them, but I never could get mine past
turning brown.... you can save them, but as Rick mentions, it's tricky...

Thanks for the response. I don't really have any interest in saving
them. They're albino corys and I would really have no use for them, and
most stores around here already have tons.

Now if I could just get my Blue Rams to lay eggs...

Only if I could get mine to live past 6 months, I've just not had luck with
rams... I love them... painted glass babies, but no luck keeping them...
breaks my heart to even think of 'trying' it again... just can't do it...

I use a mix of RO and tap water in their water changes. Keep the PH at
6.5 and have the tank heavily planted. They were sold as "Tank raised
rams" and have done much better then ones from the chain LFS (Petco to
be specific). I think it all comes down to how they look when you get
them and where they came from. As far as I know, most come from Asia
and are of horrible quality.

Just wait until you find some good looking ones, or if mine breed, I'll
send you some .
