Baby White Corys

[TonyN]

A few days ago, just out of curiousity, I scraped a bunch of cory eggs off the glass, and put them in a little bowl with an air stone going.
Ok - now I've got a couple dozen little baby corys tooling around in the bowl.
Question is - what do I do with them now. What kind of environment should I give them. How large a container, what to feed, etc.

thanks

I unfortunately have no experience with cory fry as I've never had the good fortune of having any spawn.... I just wanted to say congrats on the new arrivals and good luck!

I would suggest keeping the bowl as clean as possible (and no substrate so cleaning is easier). The add some finely crushed flake food. They will find it and eat it.

Ok - thanks. Yesterday I went out and bought one of those little breeding nets that you hang on the inside of the tank. Put them in there with some pulverized flake food, and they seem happy as clams.

Um, don't you want them to be as happy as little baby cories?

Anyway, congrats on the spawn.

I accidentaly spawned my Corydoras Paleatus once. Only one fry survived, but it was one healthy little bugger.

Hmmmm........... I dunno - I'll ask them.
