How long does it take for corycat's eggs develop?

How long does it take for corycat's eggs develop inside their body? I got two corries carrying eggs and they haven't released them.

 

Females can carry eggs for a long time, they won't "develop" until they are released and fertilized externally by the male.

No, at some point they will either re-absorb the unfertilized eggs, dump them and eat them, or, in rare cases, have the eggs harden and become egg-bound.

I see. So, they will be fine then. Another question, Is it ok if I isolate the females that carries eggs with a male?

 

Leave the corys together, the females need the males to encourage them to spawn.
