New Cory Fry Tank On The Way

Received online delivery of 5 red rili shrimp. 2 of them were dead. Stupid me never took a picture while they were in the bag but I couldn't see which one was alive and which dead because they were all belly up, some barely moving. The shop refused replacement because I hadn't taken a picture while they were in the bag.The packaging was so poor you would only send plants this way, no insulation from the cold or nothing, just a double plastic bag, wrapped in a thin layer of bubble wrapping, too small for the box it was sent so it was swinging inside all the way to me. Unbelievable.
I couldn't even acclimate them properly because the water was full of ammonia and it was freezing cold.
 
This is getting so frustrating I am going to cry again. Took out the moss ball outside the tank to clean up the small box a bit and kept counting only 3 small corys and couldn't figure out what happened to the 4th until I found it on the moss ball after 10 minutes dead :sad: How could I be so stupid!!!!!!!!!
 
The corys went nuts spawning today. That's the biggest spawn I've ever had and probably all the albino mamas were laying eggs. I probably damaged quite a few as I couldn't wait to move them because the fish were eating them instantly.

Just to show you my albino and gold laser corys interbreeding. T-position and all!!!

A short video of the corys, the bronze/laser ones are 2 weeks old exactly. The albino is 1 month old.

I was just wondering, but would a 5 week old cory and 3 week old corys be a danger to a 1 week old ones?
Not sure whether it's ok to move the ones in the breeder box into the cory baby tank. I don't want these to suffer but then I don't want the new ones to be eaten. I know a few weeks old guppies can stress newborn babies and bite their tails to death but corys?

They should all be fine together. I've had cory from all ages in the same tank and never had a problem.
