Got some Corydoras Aeneus Eggs

We've been working at getting a group of 8x Bronze Corys (Corydoras aeneus) to spawn for a little while now. We tried a sand-bottom, species-only set up. Nothing. We added a powerhead. Nothing. We did cold water changes. Nothing. We fed a lot of different food. Nothing. We added rain water, catapa leaves, alder cones, oak leaves, and a bunch of small crypt: finally got some action! Not sure if the eggs are fertile, but they were laid everywhere. See annotated photos below:


20 gal. long bronze cory tank. Leaf litter, alder cones, 1/4 rainwater


They laid eggs on the powerhead


Eggs also laid on some of the Cryptocoryne Parva leaves


Trying to gently move sticky eggs off of powerhead


Eggs moved into specimen container, airstone added, 2/3 R.O. water, 1/3 tank water, 1 alder cone, 1/2 ml H202 to fight off fungus

Looks like a bunch are infertile. We'll see if anything happens by the top of next week or so. We'd love, love, love to raise a batch of wee corys!
