I was cleaning my tank to move it from my apartment back home and I noticed a quarter-inch panda cory wiggling around on the bottom. It's in an isolation net now and I was wondering what to feed it. I've heard the very young fry need chopped up black worms and vinegar eels, but the fish has the black bars characteristic of adults which makes me think it's been eating something already. I saw a picture of a 2-week-old fish that had no coloration and was much smaller than mine, which looked more like the picture of the month-old fish. I don't have a picture at the moment, but here is a link to the picture I am referring to.

"The one at the bottom right is about a month old while the one at the upper left is about two weeks old."

If its already a 1/4" you can feed it chopped up black worms.
Just make sure you clean up after feeding or any uneaten food will foul the water quickly.

That's cool. I never see mine when they're that small. The bottom of my tank is so heavily covered in plants/grasses, they stay hidden until they're a little over a 1/2". After that, they swim out in the open water constantly. I've got 6 babies so far from 3 different litters/clutches... whatever you call them for fish. Mine are all a mix breed from my Panda and my Skunk cory.
