I would, there’s less chance of damaging them if you leave them on the leaf

You can get a breeder net. They have two metal clips that you bend over the front edge of the tank. Break the leaf with the eggs and stick the leaf in the breeder. It's made of very fine nylon netting to prevent other fish from being able to cause them any harm.

You can't go wrong following Coradee when it comes to hatching the eggs and then raising the fry. I know I followed her method and now have more cory's than I really should have.

Wow thanks everyone fishlore is best!thanks Coradee! So I broke the leaf off and I put it in a bucket with a air pump and the leaf kept floating so I put a rock on the leaf to hold it down how lonh until they should hatch?my species is bronze corys and get this they laid eggs again like 3 times on the glass but I just let them eat the eggs because I already have 10 eggs in the bucket so who knows they might lay eggs all day today!

Bad thing though todays my sisters birthday which is good but little cousins are coming over and I don't know how to say don't touch that bucket anyways I hipe my eggs do good.

Don’t be too disappointed if this batch don’t make it, you’ll have many more chances. Bronze corys are prolific spawners & can lay several hundred eggs in one spawn.

Actually wrong, one female can lay up to 100 eggs. Not several hundred. Coradee
Edit: do you have a credit card or an old one? You can use that to remove the eggs. They likely won't survive without being separated.

It does depend on species but the Op has aenus & a mature aenus female can lay well over 100 eggs, we’ll have to agree to differ.

Sounds good. Cause mine lay 100-150 sometimes each. But yes agree to differ.
