I posted this in the catfish forum as well.

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."

Most likely, your tank provided the fry with a plethora of small crustaceans/microfauna to feed on, and at this size, you should be fine feeding it as you do the parents.

Congrats--baby cories are cute!
