yea good luck with them. My cory fry moves to crushed flake food in about 2wks. I've been trying to condition my c. sodalis for the past few days, but I also have my breeding 4 of bronze cories in there. And guess what happened after being in the conditioned for a few days?
I saw them in their spawn mode this morning and came back from the beach and saw the mother eating on a batch of them. I only saw two patches so they ate most of them. I'm sure it was a small batch anyways because she usally throws them out there. After a few weeks she'll have a good batch. I want my sodalis to spawn!!
goodluck with your fry keep us posted on their progress. try taking a picture of them in a spot light of a flashlight. It usally helps my camera focus. I too cannot afford a macro lens lol.
