Pygmaeus wigglers

Hi all,

After discovering a juvenile cory pygmaeus in my community tank (which contains 9 pygmaeus along with assorted rasboras, endera, gambusia, otos and minnows) I decided to make more of an effort to raise some of the eggs. I put some eggs in a floating tupperware with an airstone, and some in a Lees breeder net next to the fliter outflow.

This morning I have two wigglers in the tupperware . It contains small amounts of two kinds of fry food, and some detritus and moss from the tank (on the assumption that this might carry some infusoria they can eat).

Does anyone have some tips on what else I can do to give them the best chance to get big enough to add back to the community tank?

I had only two, and I think I saw a new one this morning. The first two have now developed the vertical bands I read about. I dropped in various bits of fry food and algae. I may have overdone it a bit and will probably try and suck some back out tonight. But so far my few little guys seem fine. I need one or two replacements and imagine people will be happy to pick up any extras as freebies, assuming they make it.

My main concern is that they are currenting in a rather small tupperware dish. So I think I will need to transfer them to my breeder net at some point....

I am posting pictures if the wigglers here if anyone is curious: http://puddlebuddies.blogspot.com/2009/11/cory-eggs.html

I have been using gunk off the bottom of my tank. As I had one make it on its own in the tank I assume there is something in there that works for them.
