I'm trying not to give up and wave the white flag. I'm hoping if I can figure this out it will help everyone here who would like to raise pygmy cories. If I ever do give up, I will rehome them. They are too small to be housed in any of my other tanks with my other fish. Can you just picture them coming face to face with a discus or being followed routinely by the "monkey" loaches! 
On a brighter note, I have several embers that have nice plump bellies. They really love the live white worms I feed. I had placed a clump of moss in the upper left hand corner of that tank to give the new molly fry some cover since most of them are staying high rather than low hiding in the plants, and this morning I had a plump ember underneath the moss, in the middle, with 7 or 8 slimmer embers circling all round her, over and over again. I've not seen any of them do that before. So....who knows!
