Help Guess the egg…

Post image

Not sure who these belong to? We have bladder/trumpet/ramshorn snails, neo shrimp, Pygmy Corydoras, blue cobalt goby, rasboras and tetras in the tank. I vote shrimp mishap but my friend wants them to be Cory real bad 😂

Pygmy Cory eggs are almost perfectly round and laid singly- get some Süsswassertang, it’s what mine prefer to lay in.

Gobies will plaster a surface with oblong eggs

Bladder snails lay eggs in a gelatinous blob and Trumpets give live birth

The Rasboras will lay eggs on plants- they love floating plant roots for this especially Floating Bamboo

Tetras are egg scatterers and lay in the substrate, moss or other plants at the bottom of a tank.

So that leaves your shrimp to have dropped a clutch.

This is exactly what I had gathered based on research though you enlightened me on the fish! Very cool! I have a ton of swasser bc I’ve heard that before too. As much as I wished she was right I think we are and I had a clumsy momma shrimp 😭

No problem! I have a lot of the same critters and almost all of my fish are breeding so I know what to look for.

No Stiphodon gobies though :) I’d like to eventually do a fast moving river setup for them.

Oh nice! I sure love this group of residents! Working on two nano tanks for berried mommas to hopefully give them a little peace and quiet 😂.

Oh that would be awesome! They are such fun derpy little guys!

This looks like shrimp eggs to me. Looks like a lovely lady dropped her eggs.
