Hopefully I'll be able to see them then.

Congrats man! Your cories are quite prolific! Hope you post some pics!

YES!!!    Thanks.  Very lovely little critters.   I also enjoyed checking out the RCS.  I might have to get myself a few.

Sure do love my RCS! That one in the video was nursing a whole gutful of eggs, too.

Very nice. They've grown lots since the invisible shots previously

 The cherries are going to love the extra food.

The cherries have proven the perfect nursemaids!

I think cherries are great cleaners when it comes to the bottom, especially if you've got enough of them in the cory tank. I haven't syphoned the sand in months. There's nothing to siphon really. I think when combined with ottos and a few nerite snails and/or even normal pest snails, it makes a great team and none are dangerous to each other. I even read recently that ramshorns eat hydra, so certainly a good candidate for a fry/shrimp tank if one gets unlucky enough to get infested with it.
I'd suggest if you have some almond leaves or similar put a few in. Both the cherries and baby corys will find extra food from the infusoria that will grow on them when they fall apart and they have antibacterial properties too.

Funny thing, there are a few pest snails in there! I have no idea where they came from. Either the sand that's been in that tank for months (even though I washed and washed it before using it this time) or there were eggs on the java moss. All my tanks have assassin snails except this one, so who knows? 
 
No chance for almond leaves in my neck of the woods. Been feeding them ground fish flakes 3X daily and that seems to be doing the trick. It's what I did last time, too, and all those former fry are in my 55g, save one who mysteriously died a couple of weeks ago.
 
Back to the current fry, I'm thinking now there's at least a dozen in there! So hard to tell at this stage, but I counted 11 that were visibly swimming, and I know there must have been some that were resting which makes them completely invisible. My husband thinks he's getting them all for his 75g. Well maybe, in another year! His synodontis would snack on these right off the bat.

One week old! Baby pics!!
 

 
Size comparison to a RCS ...
 

 
I wish they'd keep this coloring! There may be up to a couple dozen in there. It's so hard to tell because if they aren't moving they're completely invisible. All seem healthy! Some are bigger than others. I'm thinking it's possible some were hatched Tuesday, hence the size difference.

Or are eating more...

Ooh, I want more babies!
And a reason to try shrimp.

I actually had the exact same thought.  My pandas have been breeding rather regularly, I might actually set-up a breeding tank just for them (and some RCS, apparently!).
