Egg Care

Okay so some random fish laid eggs in my tank, i was able to successfully move them from the big tank to a fry tank without penetrating them. What do I do now and how to tell if they are actually fertilized. My guess is they are cory catfish. They are in a filtered 2 gal. tank with the same aquarium water that was in the big tank they were laid in.

Im not to sure how to care for them, but is the tank water heated according to corydoras needs. Also super clean water before and after birth is important, another thing to get covered is what to feed them?

they havent hatched yet but the water is being filtered so it doesnt get stagnant. they are only a few days old, how long they were in mom before she laid them i dunno. I guess we'll see *crosses fingers*

nah i really think its the cories, i looked some info on them and the eggs are white like theirs and the area they were laid in sounds like them (against the glass and on some nearby plants) never seen them uh "get together" but its possible. plus i only have one tetra in the tank so if it is her then she bred with a different breed of fish.

okay so the eggs now have a milky color "fuzz" surrounding them ,does that mean their dead?

are they whitesh or more tan? white usually isnt fertilized... usually the milky fuzz is fungus..but keep an eye on them as not knowing 100% whose eggs they are

some are tan and some are more white. i have a 60% assurance they are the cories seeing how they laid them on every surface of the tank haha.
