This group had a much smaller clutch the first time around, but Jan spotted the latest one this morn'n...so she scrapped em off, and we set up a 2 1/2 gal for them.....might be close to 75-100 huh
I guess we're back in the cory business....LOL |^|
I put my last big cory spawn in a large Marina Hang-On Breeding Box... Pete Mang turned me on to these several years ago.

I think it's cute, they don't even have color in their tail section yet, but they have nice big whiskers (barbels).

Might be one of the bigger cory spawns that we've had around here...
I keep telling folks not to remove the fuzzy mulm too soon....the newly hatched eat that junk....I'm sure of it....I left it in there, and when I saw loads of fry this morning...poofed it with the baster...a gazzilion more came out...LOL.....so I carefully removed the mulm junk to a white plastic bucket....then grabbed another 15-20 out of there... |^|...I added a bunch of fresh duckweed to the 2 1/2 and they're merrily running around eating from the microbe debris......bit again added just a hint of banana worms....they're going for that too................so far, so good...
got a couple vids, but it only shows a sampling of the amount of fry in there....a touch blurry in spots..couldn't get the distance right when trying to show them more closely....
When I raised a lot of Cory fry I used the corner filters that were corrugated foam, not flat. They liked to hide under them.

....this is a very healthy batch...eating like hogs and growing well....color is showing now too....they're no longer pale, and transparent...
I have no idea where to move them next... huh
I watched the video the other day, but I didn't notice the "1,2,3,4,5,6, screw it" till this morning. That's funny.

That's great news Jon. When I finish my little reorganization I hopefully will have one or two dedicated cory ranks. I have a pod of Sterbai in with a dozen Angels and a huge pod of greens with even more Angels. I also have miscellaneous cories in several of my other tanks. huh
I got all these little critters moved yesterday....for the time being they can cavort in the 30+ breeder....they love it in there too... |^|
