I think my Cories just had Eggs

[Impudence12]

They are starting to swim away when I go near the tank, then stop like the big cories. I put a bit of sinking orange dry food in there yesterday and noticed some orange tummies since they are still clear. But that goes to show that as soon as they are eating they can eat powdered dry food. I'm still giving them bbs tho.

The lights are still off, so around noon I'll see if I can get some pictures. They still aren't much, just little gray heads and tails.

Chances are good that the cories bred with their own kind. They can be induced to cross breed but not usually when there is one of their own kind in the tank.

I only managed to get one picture to turn out right despite my best efforts. The flash reset to auto after I looked at the pictures and apparently that caused the one picture to not be blurry, but I don't want to traumatize them with flashing lights so this one will have to do.

This is the 5th day since hatching.

I remember when mine were that small, so cute. They grow pretty fast.

Carp37 inspired me to try to get better pictures (Those baby BN are so adorable)

I took a light off another tank and plopped it on top of the 5g to much the dismay of all the fry. They took shelter in the flower pots, but I managed to get some pictures. This is at 17 days old. Tomorrow we are going to go hunting for pool filter sand and set up a 10gal for them since they won't fit in that tank for long. There's somewhere between 15 and 20 total, but they are hard to count.

The first picture is from a few days ago when I attempted to get a picture with the flash. The rest are from today.
