Pygmy Fry Picture!

Yep, once I saw cory fry I fell in love. They beat livebearers by far.

I've been giving them hikari first bites.  I'm not sure what you mean by baby flakes, but I won't be giving them crushed tropical flakes until they grow some, like a month or less.  Have any of you had pygmy fry?

Yes, first bites baby flakes. My goby fry appear to be the same size, but all the food I've tried has been about the size of their little heads.

I have not yet had any Cory fry, hopefully one day.  I love how tiny they are and well done for finding 27!  How did you capture them from the main tank?
 
DreamertK, you have Goby fry - awesome - got any pictures, can you start a Topic on them, or have you already?

I know it sounds weird, but an eyedropper worked great for sucking them up.    I put them in a bag and then let them sit in the fry tank a while before letting them go.

Wow, that is small, I would have thought a Turkey Baster or large Siphon, although I am aware that the pressure of a Siphon could cause some damage.

They're too small and quick to catch in my net.

You kind of have to see them at a certain angle where the white of the net reflects their dark bodies.
