Just Spotted Cory Fry In Main Tank...

[Harlequins]

Hi all

Well my blue platy is dropping fry in trap,but doesn't appear to have had many,so i was looking around the main tank with a torch just to see if i could see any in there and low and behold i spotted a cory fry!!! It was definately a cory not a platy fry,against the edge of the tank,so i ran off to get something to catch it in and put it in my cory fry tank anyway a few seconds later it had disappeared and gone into hiding!!

I reckon its a week or so old,how it survived i don't know! i gave the main tank a gravel vac and water change yesterday!!

Do you think it will survive?

I used to breed my corys and raise the fry in my display tank which had only livebearers in it.. I think yours has a good chance of making it if you have plenty of cover, mulch (where there be fry food) and go easy on the syphon.

Anyways, congratulations on the babies What species?

Hi thanks

They are cory trilineatus, i have 8 cory fry in a separate tank, there is plenty of cover in the main tank,but lots of egg eating platys,so i hope they dont want a nibble of cory fry!

Great, same as me! The fry should be able to out swim the predators

Where do you think thre Cory laid the eggs without being eaten?

The cories have been laying their eggs under the moss balls, i remember losing a few eggs they dropped off and fell into the gravel so i assumed they would probably get eaten,i will keep an eye open for the fry but i think its either hiding well or have been eaten.
