Cory Fry!

[KrystaK]

My post about finding eggs is still on this page,

but anyways I now have three newborn (As of like 5 min ago) Panda cory fry!
I have them set up in my breeding trap, as that's where I put the eggs when I found them. I know its not ideal but it is keeping them away from the other fishies who would love to eat them.

I've read a few guides on how to care for fry, it's basically like caring for live bearer fry I gather. Clean tank, small food, some shelter for them to hide in and they're pretty well set.

I was wondering if there were any pointers people could give me, like exactly what is the best food? Should I move them to a different tank? I don't really have a different tank to put them in so I sort of intended on letting them stay in the breeding trap.

But I'm super excited!!

Food wise for the newly hatched fry you can use liquid fry but sparingly it can really make a mess of a tank. I often give my cory fry finely ground tropical flakes which I swirl in the water to make them sink to the bottom of the breeding net the fry are in, as well as catfish and algea wafers that I let soften before adding to the fry. The best food by far I think is giving the fry some moss or other water plants from the parents tank which will usually have some biofilm/ mircoscopic plants/ amimals that the fry can and will eat.

Good liuck with the eggs
