Two weeks ago I moved my 55gal to another room and two days after I had set the tank up I was looking at the tank and saw eggs on the glass and I'm like ah darn there's freaking snail eggs and then it hit me that my Malaysian trumpets don't lay eggs:idea: So then I thought about who's eggs they could be and I narrowed it down to the cory's. So as I was doing my happy dance (never gotten cory eggs before) I realized how quickly my betta and the snails were sneaking towards the eggs so I felt I didn't have a choice but to scrape the eggs off and I put them in a container that I floated in the tank with an air stone. Two days later...8ish fry!! I left them in the container for about a week and I had a plant with algae on it in there for them to munch on and then just a couple days ago I moved the fry to a nursery net and started feeding them little bites fish food for baby fish, I also put their plant in there as well. Is there anything else I can be doing for them or feeding them? I wanted to stick some frozen brine shrimp in there for them but I didn't know if that would be too big for them. Any suggestions would be helpful, I'd really like for these guys to survive.:rolleyes:
 
keep the water very clean and keeping it 4-6inches will help them also. They won't need to be feed until after they absorbed all their yok sak. Any fry food is good frozen brine shrimp is too big though. Freshly hatched ones would be great but the first bites will work fine.

clean water and clean up the uneaten food you should be good. gl! and congrats
 
First Bites will work. Not cheap, but available. You might also try Micro worms or Golden Pearls. By the second week they can be on fine crushed flake.
