I got pink eggs

I have pink eggs on my rock in my 29 gallon aquarium. It's either the zebra danios or the corys. I noticed that 2 zebra danios are chasing the rest which I assume are the males. I also noticed that a few of the danios are quite plump. What should I do?

Re: I got pink eggs

Probably corys danios scatter their eggs in plants. Corys stick them to things.

Re: I got pink eggs

Oh...is there anything I should do? I kind of dount it's the corys. I had 1 cory in there for 1 month and 2 in there for only 2 days.

Re: I got pink eggs

You could take the rock out and put it in another tank to see what hatches out are they individual eggs or a gelatineous(sp) glob like snail eggs? Look around the glass close to the edges and corners.corys like to lay in places like that as well as rocks and plants.

Re: I got pink eggs

I don't want to take the rock out because I have a few guppy fry that hide there. The eggs are individual. Could corys breed that fast? I mean, they were only there for 2 days!

Re: I got pink eggs

Ok. I think my zebra danios laid eggs. My females are noticably less plump. So what color are zebra danio's eggs?

Their kind of white but would be scattered everywhere.

My yellow danio (albino zebra.. whatever heh) eggs are clear/white... So.. zebra ones are probably the same

Re: I got pink eggs

Actually, I read that corys' eggs are white. So could there be a snail in there?

Re: I got pink eggs

Snail eggs look like a glob of clear jelly. Are they still there? Most eggs hatch in three to four days, so two more days and we see what they turn out to be

Re: I got pink eggs

They didn't hatch yet....I think. It's hard to see the eggs because they're between a crack in the rock.

Re: I got pink eggs

4 days and still no eggs! I'm starting to think that they're not eggs...but they sure look like eggs. Do you think it'd be snail eggs? I haven't seen any snails in there though...

Re: I got pink eggs

Maybe it's snails? I saw some baby snail crawling around. I still see the pink eggs. Though I see less. I took a billion pictures but it's all blurred and you can hardly see them. Do you still want me to post the picts?
