Imagine my suprise this morning when I was feeding the fish before heading off to work, when I noticed something very small wiggling around in the dwarf grass. I sat and waited for it to move again. Sure enough, though hard to see in the grass was a wee cory. I have 4 adults in the tank. 2 are fully grown and rather larger (3-4 inches) and 2 smaller ones (2 inches or so). The tank is fully planted and has plenty of hiding places, so I never noticed anything. But I will have to look around closer this evening.
The little critter was no longer than the width of my pinky nail. He was so cute, snuffling around in the sand amongst the grass. Please forgive my ignorance, but are cories live breeders or egg layers? I never even contemplated them having babies. Sneaky little boogers.
I will try to get a picture to post this evening. The problem is he is so small and hard to find. The thank is planted so that even the large adults I may not see but once or twice a week unless they are very active.
