Here's a couple shots of my baby cory.

Very cute

One more pretty good one.

Very nice, This Old Spouse. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Well, I've lost two of them today. They seem to be the tiniest of the whole bunch, and they just got weaker as the day went on. All the others seem to be in great shape and eating and zooming around the tank.

Boy oh boy, one thing is for sure next time around ... no substrate!! It's nearly impossible to see them when they're not moving!

 

[karawr]

May I suggest keeping substrate even though they are hard to see.

I first did bare botoom because I couldn't see them with sand. I had very many deaths, like 80% of them. As soon as I added in substrate I had almost no deaths at all. Substrate is really handy for cories as they are bottom dwellers and the glass accumulates bacteria... just my experience.

Otherwise cute little buggers. What kind?

Now I want to post piccies of mine.

I might try to find white sand, then. The play sand we get here is anything BUT uniform color, and I swear when one of the fry stops moving, it disappears right before my eyes!! They are getting big enough at this point where it's easier every day to see them.

Some of these are peppered, and I think two or three are delphax! The bigger ones are from a batch that I took from my 55g that I thought certainly had to be albino because I have 18 of them and only 4 delphax. But now those fry, 2 days younger than the peppers, are at least twice the size of the peppers and also have distinct colors, unlike albinos. I really, really hope they're delphax. I'd love to have more of them! I think I've got enough albinos

yes i know what you mean... My sand is very "multigrain" so it is hard to see them. I too wanted white sand, or even black (easy to spot fungusy things!!) but I can't get locally

I hope they are Delphax!!

 

[This Old Spouse]

I hope so too

 

[Harlequins]

Good luck with your fry,always a possibility they turn out to be bronze fry my albinos gave me loads of both albino & bronze,the latter lot were all bronze

I hope they are the delphax though

 

[This Old Spouse]

Well, unless bronze cory have spots, I don't think that's what they are. I'm so, so, so hoping they're delphax! The biggest ones are now getting really big, so my hopes are getting high.

 

[Nurse_Sarah]

do cory's eat their fry??.... ive always wondered

 

[Tizer]

yes

 

[friendlyfishy777]

So cute!

I saw some of my corys mateing after their last water change but I doubt I'll ever see any babies in my tank as the hoplos eat the eggs and I'm sure would eat the fry given the chance. I'll have to look into getting a breeding tank down the line perhaps.
