Cory eggs all over the front glass after the cold water change, pull them or leave them?
Did a big cool water change on the panda tank this morning and by lunch there were eggs everywhere on the glass. Pic below of the cluster. Parents have eaten clutches before when I left them, so I'm leaning toward picking them off into a tub with a drop of methylene blue. How do you all handle it, any trick for getting them off the glass without squishing them?

I roll them off with a finger, gently, they come off easier than you'd think. Pulled mine into a tub with an airstone and lost maybe a fifth to fungus.
I don't keep corys but I always pull eggs from anything that eats them. A bit of alder cone in the hatch tub helped me with fungus on other eggs.
good to know on the loss rate, that's about what I expected. Rolling with a finger it is.
I'd pull them. In my experience panda parents eat a good share of eggs on the glass within a day or two. Alder cone in the tub like discusdan said is a good shout too, keeps fungus down without needing much methylene blue.
yeah alder cone is going in the tub tonight. I've been heavy handed with methylene blue before and it clouded everything, so I'll keep it light.
alder cone is underrated. i toss one in every egg tub now, the tea tint is a fair trade for how much less fungus I get.
