I find a good chunk of my babies too had very red colored fins.@NCaquatics , a couple of my baby fish have copper colored dorsal fins and top of their head. Is this because they are a mix of regular bronze and albino? Very pretty but different. Have you seen it before? View attachment 123801View attachment 123802View attachment 123803
Thanks! I didn’t notice how copper colored they were until I moved them to a larger tank. It surprised me a little.I find a good chunk of my babies too had very red colored fins.

Thank you! From you, I definitely take it as a compliment!Theyre much more colourful than I anticipated. I bought aeneus babies from the store, not much larger than the ones I've sold already, but they were practically colorless. But probably because they were in bad shape and sickly (I still have them and theyre fine healthy adults now).
So take it as a compliment to your care that yours are colourful
Can you explain a little more? I can’t figure out how he got that color. Some of the paler ones just barely passed albino. They have a blue sheen to them. Lol!So it happened with yours then too! And you dont have schultzei cories in yours, so thats a relief for me, my weird dark ones may not be hybrids then lol
I love the colour of your paler ones though. Theyre almost pastel
I had a couple babies come out really dark and questioned if maybe mine were hybrids with my black schultzei. But you dont have a schultzei adult in yours but are still darker, meaning mine may not be hybrids after all.Can you explain a little more? I can’t figure out how he got that color.

Thinking its just a colour phase/variation among the babies that they may grow out of.
I have 11. . 4 from first batch and 7 from second batch. They are all in a 29G tank along with my cherry barbs that were born at the same time. Funny, I got 2 albinos and then one that is black as the ace of spades! I have no idea where he came from but he’s beautiful!Hey @Deanasue what was the outcome with your corydoras spawning escapade?
I struggle to count my corys so I'm not certain how many babies made it in the end! I know I started off with 12 adults before it all began
