Comments

The eggs were laid on the seems of the glass on the glass and silicon. At first they looked like snail eggs, however the timing of the disappearance of the eggs and appearance of the fry ID'd the as Cory eggs. This twenty gallon aquarium has plenty of refugia (live plants, pleco caves, and wood) for these cory cats.
