tk_yt Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 So I bought some bronze corydora from Aquarium Coop a few months ago. Then today as I’m watching for thr fish, I see several baby corydora! I never even knew thry were born, so I never fed any fry food… and it looks like they are growing nicely, but what should I feed them? I have been giving the Hikari sinking pellets so far… with occasional blood worms and brine shrimp. Any other suggestions? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 They are doing great so just carry on maybe up the brine shrimp while they are little. Congrats 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Yep, Just do what you're normally doing. If anything, crush some pellets with your hands to make them smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Mollusk Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Congrats! To I'm in the same boat--I just discovered an unexpected baby panda cory yesterday. At this point, I think my non intervention was the source of the accidental breeding success. 😅 But I feed my fish repashy (I mix soylent green and community) which they like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiapeach88 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Best kind of surprise in fish tank. Congrats. They probably did well off bbs that’s what I ourpoy feed my eggs I separated and hatched myself. But I’ve had a few accidental babies show up in tanks too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk_yt Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 Thanks everyone. I kept up whatever was being done before, and I don’t know exactly how many there are, but I have for sure more than 10 of the baby fish that are happily swimming in the tank. So I at least doubled if not tripled the number of corydora I now have 🙂 I just did a water change and cleared out my filter so the flow is restored, and they all started to swim all over the place (I’m hoping it’s because they like the flow). I just now am seeing just how many there are, and it’s really quite something to see. I’m looking forward to seeing them growing big and healthy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Keeney Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 If they have survived to this point I don think you need to do anything special. I have some new ones myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaintoppufferkeeper Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Congrats. I also think you are good as is. There are all kinds of natural fry foods in an established planted tank. Speaking from my panda cory experience in a planted 55, that went from 6 to way more than 6, if you see one there are almost certainly more fry in the plants at various stages of growth.The one you photographed should eat everything adults eat. That natural food in your tank and your standard foods seem to be the perfect amount to grow your group. If you wanted to be sure you alhad a little extra for fry I have crushed up flakes and pellets before with a mortar and pestle to get tiny foods to fry. That has normally be fine for Corydoras fry. Some live baby brine could be fed or live worms of some sort (blackworms, whiteworms, or grindal worms, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
