As I had my parents visiting me yesterday (I haven't seen them since the 3rd of January), I had no chance of keeping an eye on the spawning cories (and cories tend to spawn when it suits me the least). In the evening I finally went into my bedroom for a look. Well, there were eggs. And there were more eggs! And the more I looked, the more eggs I found!
They were piled up in large clumps. I'm never able to resist picking out cory eggs, and I couldn't resist it yesterday either. To make it easier, I picked all the leafs the eggs were laid on, and transferred them into the icecream boxes where I usually hatch cory eggs. At the same time I counted them. I had suspected that there would be about 300 eggs. Well, I was wrong...My group of 10-12 c. schultzei had spawned more than 600 eggs!
And I had been stupid enough to pick them all! 
One of the leafs I had picked, alone contained more than 120 eggs (see pics)! How am I going to house 600 fry if they all hatch? Well, actually house 700-800 fry, to be honest. Because I already have sterbai, trilineatus atropersonatus and duplicareus fry, and I even managed to pick 70-90 trilineatus eggs yesterday too (after I picked the 600+ How stupid am I? 
).Well, about 700 eggs in one day is quite a catch. And my poor, not-fish-interested parents had to deal with a cory owner in great shock all evening!
I just couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the evening. I have never ever seen anything like it. 10-12 c. schultzei produced almost twice as many eggs as my group of C-140 (which is about the same size - the group, not the size of the cories 
).Here are some pics of the leaf that contained more than 120 eggs. It doesn't look so much, but there certainly were so many when I counted them.
Most of the eggs looks fertile too. I've never before wished that some eggs must go bad. Today I do...
