My Cories Are Spawning Everywhere!

Not well. 2 lone survivors.

Where are you loosing them, before or after they begin feeding?

I’ve been placing food in this time on day 1 after our last discussion. I clean it up each after an hour or so. Try feeding 3 times a day. Water parameters ok. I never let nitrates get higher than 10-20. They seem to die after the egg sac is gone. I notice them getting paler and weaker and hours later they are dead.

I am down to one fry now. I did collect about 20 more eggs today in the hopes of getting him another survivor to be with. My 3 week old fry are doing great and growing like weeds. If I just get them past the first 3 or 4 days, they seem fine.

If baby fish are dying within the first 2 weeks of life, it is either starvation or poor water quality.

Most baby fish need very small food for the first 2 weeks. Try boiled egg yolk and make up some infusoria and green water.

Yeah, It sounds like they are not eating, maybe see if you can make some "smaller" food. Maybe try Colin's suggestion for feeding?

I’m feeding Hikari First Bites which is a powder. Can’t get any smaller than that. It also seems to be the albinos. Perhaps genetics.

Correction, I still have the 2 fry from 2nd hatch.

I am so proud of my Cory fry! They look just like their parents now. Three weeks old today. .

My first batch of cories will be 4 weeks Saturday. A few

of new pics.

 

[FishGuest5123]

Here so a couple of my second group, about 2.5 weeks old.

 

[FishGuest5123]

Third group too tiny to get yet. Wait, found one! About a week old.

They're huge for 4 wks!! I'm hoping mine have a growth spurt so I can add them to the tank, this breeder net/box is getting a bit annoying now haha

 

[FishGuest5123]

They were born 10/17th. I believe they grow faster in a nursery tank. At least ours survived.
