So Many Babies

[Crispii]

Very nice. Congratulations on raising Solo thus far.

Nice looking fry tank, I would suggest a few live plants be added and do you have a heater for it?

I have some pieces of moss added since. Water is totally changed daily as it is anyways.

No heater, its summer and ive unplugged most of my heaters anyways. Plus, these cories range 72-78F

And without a heater, im sitting warm. I even have air conditioning!

They're starting to look like corys now! Esp. Solo!
Everybody looks good.

Solo is a lot bigger than the others, cool. My tetras are chasing each other around the tank so they are in the mood but I do not think my water chemistry is there yet. Also my community tank is not there yet. The sunken forest does not have as many hidden dark areas and egg nest as when I had it as my LOTR tank. The castle just had more dark dungeons perfect for tetra fry and eggs to survive in.

So imagine my shock finding babies in the cup filter hahaha took that apart and just opted for the sponge instead. Works fine and the babies like chilling in the shade under the filter.

The little ones are around 11-13 days old now

Solo, 27 days old. Hes very dark compared to the younger babies

 

[CassCats]

Just popping in a few more photos

Theyre just so cute. Being able to see them from the sides has made me fall so much more in love with them

 

[CassCats]

Well, some bittersweet news.

Its getting harder to tell Solo apart from the others, they're all growing so fast

But Solo is starting to get that dark line of his species

Theyre all doing good. They got some cyclops in there to free feed on as they catch them, along with their usual meals of fry food.

 

[CassCats]

Little ones are 20 days old (19 days in video) and Solo is 35 days old

Babies are doing good. I already have some friends and a fellow hobbyist who are interested in the babies.

But today I am yelling at Solo's mom, Tripp. THEYRE SPAWNING AGAIN.

But my hoplos are eating the eggs, so none have been collected.

 

[DwarfCichlidLvr]

lol.
You have some prolific cories there!

 

[CassCats]

All the cool kids hang on the sponge filter!

Been adding in new foods mixed in their feedings. Morning they get super fine crushed Bug Bites. Noon they get crushed flakes. Evening they get their First Bites. They're eating well

 

[CassCats]

Seriously something in my tank water.

I just freshly transferred my nano tank to their new 20 gallon tank. It hasn't even been half a day and now this!

You can see the eggs in the nest literally made after the eggs were laid.

Guess my sparklers like under driftwood. Weirdos.
