My Bronze Corys Have Laid Eggs - What Next?

Thanks for reading my post, updated it with my new fry tank :D
 
That's weird them not having it. That concoction sounds horrible lol. I wouldn't use egg yolk, it just fouls the water. When I didn't have liquifry, I just had to use the tetramin. It's a very finely ground flake. It's powder, I ground it more between my fingers and just dropped it in. They seem to have done fine!
 
Day 3 - think I have 5 healthy fry and one that looks a little deformed doesnt seem to have much of a tail and still seems to have its yolk sack attached but fingers crossed they will all survive :)
 
Now have 7 healthy week old fry swimming about just like their parents - even caught one coming up to break the surface

Yes they are cute little critters - only 4 left though after 12 days :(
 
Aww they are adorable! How are they doing? I keep losing mine :(
 
I have 6 in my 10g, and they're doing great... I think getting them through the teeny phase is the hard part!

I have 4 left at the 2 week stage now - 2 look giant compared to the other 2 so I imagine I will keep at best only 2 from the first batch. My corys spawned 3 times in the last 2 days though so I have added another 30 eggs or so to the fry tank :) Sorry to hear your losses - what stage did you get yours to?
 
Mine are about 3 weeks now I think....or maybe 4 lol. I stopped counting the days, but they're growing pretty fast now, and there's no mistaking them for anything other than wee little cories :D    
 
I would be careful when adding eggs with the fry.   I had a batch that were a little over a week apart, and the fry didn't touch the eggs, but when the eggs hatched, the older fry ate the yolks off of them and they died. I've heard of a lot of other ppl losing a second batch of cory fry with no explanation, so I assume this is what happened to them as well.

They got bigger than this

The ones in the main tank were a cm long but the angelfish ate them. They haven't spawned since :(
 
Ah they look slightly larger than mine - keeping everything crossed

I had wondered about them eating the next batch of fry but I only have this grow out tank available at the moment and will be moving the juveniles onto a LFS. If my adults keep spawning on every water change I could have a nice little system on the go

I have turned the temp down, didn't realise it had gone up by 2 degrees that's probably what the issue was! 
 
my temps have been a constant problem with the weather we're having here... my shrimp are keeling off left and right :angry:
