So Many Babies

Nice looking fry tank, I would suggest a few live plants be added and do you have a heater for it?

I have some pieces of moss added since. Water is totally changed daily as it is anyways.

No heater, its summer and ive unplugged most of my heaters anyways. Plus, these cories range 72-78F

And without a heater, im sitting warm. I even have air conditioning!

And short video
 
Solo is a lot bigger than the others, cool. My tetras are chasing each other around the tank so they are in the mood but I do not think my water chemistry is there yet. Also my community tank is not there yet. The sunken forest does not have as many hidden dark areas and egg nest as when I had it as my LOTR tank. The castle just had more dark dungeons perfect for tetra fry and eggs to survive in.
 
So imagine my shock finding babies in the cup filter hahaha took that apart and just opted for the sponge instead. Works fine and the babies like chilling in the shade under the filter.

The little ones are around 11-13 days old now

Well, some bittersweet news.

Its getting harder to tell Solo apart from the others, they're all growing so fast :rofl:

But Solo is starting to get that dark line of his species

Theyre all doing good. They got some cyclops in there to free feed on as they catch them, along with their usual meals of fry food.

Babies are doing good. I already have some friends and a fellow hobbyist who are interested in the babies.

But today I am yelling at Solo's mom, Tripp. THEYRE SPAWNING AGAIN.

But my hoplos are eating the eggs, so none have been collected.

Been adding in new foods mixed in their feedings. Morning they get super fine crushed Bug Bites. Noon they get crushed flakes. Evening they get their First Bites. They're eating well
