Infusoria For Babys

[richchappy]

Is this ok to feed babys on as on a website it said that all you do is put some leaves and water in a jar and allow it to go cloudy then when it clears you have infusoria. Is this ok for corys or not.

I use this all the time for triops, and i can say its defiantly not the most reliable method, so if you can use an alternative you should .

what is best for corys baby brine shrimp?

I've never bred corys so i cant be sure, but I don't think very young cory fry can eat BBS straight away. I would first use very finely powdered fish flakes meant for fry (i would probably grind them down more using a mortar and pestle) then move on to BBS after that .

Most common is Liquidfry at first, then microworms or baby brine shrimp. I so far have had no luck getting Liquidfry so I use fry powder until they start nibbling the blackworms. I have voluntary fry that find food in the parent's tank w/o any help from me. I usually add some floating plants, so I just guess they get something from them, too. I also have been adding gel tec Ultra Grow VX.

There is a pinned thread at the top on common breeding and raising of Cory.

i feed all mine mworm as soon as they are free swimming. then after 2 weeks, feed 3 times a day twice with worm and once with decapsulted bring shrimp. then after a few weeks, feed twice a day with DBS and crushed soaked flake. Then also offer crushed tabimin and live food when they are bigger
