Suprise PYGMY WAHOOOOOOOO!

So I was surprised by a Pygmy Cory fry today in my 5.5 if you know I have also been surprised with white cloud fry in the same tank. So I decided to name it the Surprise Tank.

That’s really excellent. They are sought after so if you decided to focus on them you may have a way to pay for your hobby! Great job and have fun!

Thanks so much @Beardedbillygoat1975would you recommend me to take him out or no. Also maybe @CorydorasEthancould pitch in.

If there were other species of fish, I would recommend to take him out, but if there are only pygmy cories, I would say he is fine, especially if there are lots of hiding spots. If the eggs survived, the fry are sure to as well! Just remember to make sure he's getting enough to eat. Also, I don't know if this is true (I've never bred pygmies before), but I've also heard that pygmy cories are some of the only cories that don't eat their fry. I hope this helps!

That is so cool! Adorable to boot! I love that he's scaled with a pond snail. 😛

I love the name of the tank. I am a Witcher fan, so I put a twist on it... and I would totally name that little pygmy Ciri if it's a girl or, Duny, if it's a boy. However the male name could be a few others, but I won't spoil anything.

I have White clouds and they were chasing it around so I’ll put it in my breeder box and keep it there until it grows a lot bigger. Thanks!@CorydorasEthan😁
