Default Eggs everywhere

Well I got home from work to find my tank covered in eggs. All I have in the tank are the 3 otos, 3 cory cats, and a betta. I can't see the corys sticking their eggs to the glass, and the betta's a male so I'm fairly confident they belong to the otos.

How long to hatch and what do i feed the babies?


Have little clumps like this all over the tank.

If theyre on the glass it sounds more like Corys breeding theres not many recorded cases of otos breeding heres a link and it includes a little bit about eggs Otocinclus - ''Little Monkeys'' in the planted aquarium • Catfishology • Shane's World • PlanetCatfish

How long to hatch and what do i feed them?

only a few days if I remember right and I used to feed mine either crushed fish flakes or golden pearls (maybe 10 days tops for mine to hatch)

They should hatch in 3 to 5 days depending on the temp of the glass if they don't eat them first.

Almost got excited for ya. In regards to the Oto eggs that is. I still am about the Cory eggs though. :o) Cories are 3-5 days...if they make it. Unfortunately, it's like having free caviar in the tank.

Eggs haven't been eaten yet.

Betta is still in time out and everyone else seems to be leaving them alone.
