[karigupi]

thank you both, i'm amazed at how much detail there is in this photo, I think I will try to take a new one every few days to see how he grows. I always knew cory's were cute, but close up they are adorable!

Not yet, I will try to get some though, be nice to have pics showing from parents-eggs-fry at different ages-adult

Got a couple of half decent pics, but with the glare from the flash & their movement, its not so easy. Here is dad:

Here's mum:

Here's a close up of mum hiding in the moss thinking I cant see her

I love this one, such a pretty face & those barbels are amazing

 

[Inchworm]

Ohh, she is a beauty!

very nice should be good to see the little ones grow!

Thank you, they are fast becoming my favorite fish.

I've had the other batch of eggs all hatch this morning, so I now have 2 5day old fry & 3 tiny 1hr olds, its difficult to notice their growth when they are so small, but when you put the new fry next to the 5 day olds, there is a hug difference, the older ones are almost twice the size.

 

[Inchworm]

Yes, they grow very fast in their early days.

managed to grab him for another photo opp this morning

Here is a piccie of my little peppered fry at 9days old:

all the babies are doing very well, eating lots & growing daily, i'm hoping for some more eggs soon, there is lots of busy activity in the tank this morning & two of my females look very plump.

Thanks Nikki, I really hope your eggs hatch too, these are my first cory babies & I am totally smitten, they were pretty easy to hatch & the fry & really easy to take care of, no need to hatch BBS all the time as I have for other fry.

these are my first eggs. i thought i was never going to get them seen as i failed to breed my mollies.

its good to know that its not as hard as i was expecting.
