Baby cories flying about my tank! ok i was doing a water change last night when i saw a ltiile baby cory sitting there watching me. my cories laid eggs a few days ago. he is in a breeder unit,without anyone else,in other words,he is the only fish i can find. is there anything i need to do right now ? or should i just leave him in there and feed him catfish pellets broken into little pieces? |
What other fish do you have in there? I'd simply provide more plants for the fry to hide. Your cories will continue to spawn. Congratulations.:) |
more plants in the net hes in? there are 3 guppies,a platy,4 neons,and 2 proud cory parents. |

I have found that they grow much faster when left in the tank, rather than the breeder unit. As far as caring for them, have a read through my post which details quite a lot of the things I dod for my cory fry. It's quite a long read but there's quite a lot of info in there. http://www.fishforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=6280 |
thank you very much. im actually going to set up a cory breeding tank. i think itll be hard to replicath the conditions i have them in right now,but ill try. my platy got all evil at the babies,and almost ate one. i have them in a breeder unit right now,and they seem to be doing very well. im afraid to let them live in my tank because of the platy :( i will move the fry once i get another tank set up. for the other tank i will use water from my 29 gallon so i can just let it sit for like a week. |
I think that keeping them in the breeder a bit longer is a lesser evil than putting them into a tank after only a week. I know you are using water form the 29g but most of the bacteria will live in the filter. Run the new filter in the old tank for a few weeks forst as well and cycle it properly is my advise. After a few weeks the babies will not be so sensitive to change sin parameters. By this I mean Ph and temp, so long as there's no great difference. I don't mean amonia and nitrite and nitrate as the babies will still be extremely sensitive to this at that age. |
alright. i see we are unclear, i keep 2 filters running in my 29, 1 is for the quarintine tank. i will use this filter for the breeding tank. as for the quarintine tank, i will buy a cheap filter. my guppies,and platy, have figured that if they follow the adult cories around,they will find something to eat,so im a bit afraid to put them in the actuall tank. its not possible that my emeralds could have had peppered cories is it? |
Do you mean emerald cories have given birth to peppered cory babies? In that case, no, not possible. |
