| Try an old credit card or something...or maybe even a blade but be very careful with a blade not to slice the eggs

| Haha... no, actually I think he's gonna die...  Everytime I move the container, he just floats there and tries to move a little. It's like he's paralyzed. I'm losing hope for him. I doubt he'll make it. What should I do with him?
Also, yesterday I tried getting the eggs out and I managed to get two out of like fifteen. Yeah, silly me forgot that they would drift away in the current. So, anyway, I have two. I don't know if their fertilyzed yet but I'm pretty sure they are. Thanks for the tips.

| He's dead. I think he wasn't eating. I checked the website that Lotus (?) gave me and I did what they said. Fed him crushed flake food. He ate the first day and then he flipped over and didn't do anything anymore. So, hopefully I'll have more luck with the new batch. Thanks for all the helpful info though! I'll keep you guys updated.

| That sucks to hear. I was hoping the little guy would make it. Hopefully you have better luck with the new eggs you have now  |

| Thanks. I can't tell if the eggs I got yesterday are ok. I might have scraped them off to early!!! Dang! Oh well, they're bound to lay more.

| No, they were on the glass. I only got two because the others floated away. Oops. The water is getting warmer again so the cories might lay eggs again. (They do that when the temperature changes, I think)
