Day one:

 

[Fanatic]

Subscribing!

 

[Smalltownfishfriend]

Following with great interest!!

I'm thinking of buying baby brine shrimp for when they start to come out. I know I'm going to wait 4 to 5 days before I feed them after they hatch. Here's the plan. Moving to a 2 gallon tank, includes: 2 airstones, heater, almond leaves, bare bottom. Anything else you guys think I need? Gonna be posting everyday. Also got first bites.

Ok...so! I counted around 70 cory fry (was gonna call them sperm because thats what they look like haha) i took picutres and will upload them on here when i get on my phone. Got a video with the tail just wagging.

I'm so happy! I tried to get a close up and this is the best I could get. They are too small for my camera . So tomorrow morning I'll be feeding them baby brine shrimp and first bites!

 

[Fanatic]

Neat!

 

[Sarah73]

Thinking if I should create a YouTube account to video

Think they like to be in groups?

 

[Algonquin]

awwww, they're snuggling

 

[Sarah73]

There was another group like that in the other corner. Tried to take a picture of the whole cup but then they swam away.

 

[Sarah73]

So! I counted all of the fry. I got around 80 fry! So happy. They all still have egg sacs so I don't wanna feed them but it's been almost three days.

Day 4

 

[Sarah73]

So frustrated! They won't eat anything I give them! They have very little egg sacs left so I tried first bites and baby brine shrimp. Nothing-,-. Anyone got any ideas? @DoubleDutch

 

[Sarah73]

Day 5: some bellies full!

@jdhef

 

[Algonquin]

Forgot to ask... what kind of corys are these little wigglers?

 

[Sarah73]

A mix of albinos and bronzes. also maybe a mix of emerald. Collected some eggs from emeralds. won't know until they start having color.

 

[Algonquin]

ooh that will be fun to watch for!

 

[Sarah73]

yes, ma'am, it will be. just can't be impatient. do you see the red bellies?
