A couple of weeks ago my cories laid eggs but I was unable to save any. Well, last night and this morning, they laid a whole bunch more. I have managed to get about 20 into one of my net breeders that I put in their tank. If they do hatch, what do you feed? I have dealt with guppy fry but I understand cory fry are much smaller. I really have to get my spare ten gallon tank up and running as I have already maxed out my spare 5 gallon with guppy fry that I am growing up so we can trade them. If we are successful in raising these cory eggs, they will go into my other 20 gal tank along with the new tank I am buying my husband for his birthday at the end of the month for his office. Thanks for any advice!
 
If its possible to set up another tank just for the eggs it would allow you to add a few drops of methylene blue to the water to prevent fungusing.

As for feeding, I've read insuforia, baby brine shripm and microworm cultures work well. Finely powdered flake food works but isn't as nutritious.
 
Baby Corys

I feed all my baby corys with brine shrimp nauplii, and micro worms. One thing of caution though. Don't over feed them, and when you see their full with the shrimp or micro worms siphon out whats left on the bottom of the tank. Keep the tank as clean as possible.
