Pygmy Cory Fry - Surprise

[pippoodle]

We were doing the monthly 60% water change in the hex today (gets weekly 30%) and in the bucket was lots of new cory fry - they were all over the bottom of the bucket - along with the baby shrimp
I thought all their eggs had been eaten as they were spawning over a week ago and never seen where they laid the eggs

Now i know they are there when i look in the tank i can see the little ones on the sand - i just assumed it was baby shrimp before - definately not just shrimp though .
I hope they survive
The rasboras they are in with are just over 1cm in length so they arent interested in them

Hi pippoodle

That's wonderful news! Best of luck with them.

thanks for all the replys

puppyjess123 - nice to see you back hun , and your corys will soon breed - my peppers didnt breed until my old aging male died (we worked out he was 11 in the end) and we introduced 2 new tiny corys put new life into them
same with the bronze they didnt breed until i increased the numbers - dont worry hun they'll do it sooner or later i know it's a pain having to wait

drewry - thats good to hear - the hex is quite well planted with bogwood and 2 coconut cabes so they've had plenty of hiding places - nothing in there really eats anything else , there's lots and lots of newborn shrimplets and some other miniscule babies not sure what they are , could be the rasboras as they are swimming to the surface more than scrabling in the sand

Inchworm - Thanks hun , have to see how they go and just remove some when they get large enough (if they do) to see an increase in numbers
