No questions or problems or anything, I just wanted to post about my cory fry this is the first time I’ve ever raised any fry (I’ve raised neos but that’s it) and they’re all doing good! They’re in a filtered and heated 10 gallon that previously housed a betta, there are a few sword plants in there and terra-cotta pots to hide in. They are a little over a month old and are growing quick! Some are much bigger than others, most are about a third of an inch long, but there’s one that’s about 3/4 an inch long, I makes him Chonker. There’s another that looks only a week or two old! I think it’s pretty normal for them to grow at different rates though. I feed them twice a day, alternating between HikarI First Bites, a sample breeder food, and frozen brine shrimp.

Aren’t they cute!!!
Anyways that’s all. Pretty proud of myself because this is my first time raising any fry that required special care. Any tips and comments are welcome!

Congratulations!! I am very happy for you!! They are so adorable!!
My cory fry are 2 1/2 weeks old. I'm also feeding HikarI First Bites. I just got some microworm cultures last week and gave the fry some today. They loved them!! I also give them just hatched brine shrimp.
I love watching them sift the sand like they're big boys and girls!! Too cute!!

Congrats on breeding and raising Cory fry to the point you have. They both look healthy, so keep up the great work. If you want the parents to lay more, feed extra and do more water changes with water about 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit lower than your tank water (20% water changes work best for me).
I hope you enjoy breeding and raising them, breeding truly is one of the great joys of fishkeeping!
