Update on cory fry

[Kissyboots]

Here's some more/better pics. One is the first guy and the second is the other egg that hasn't hatched yet. Compare it to the one that I posted on the 24th. Big difference, huh?

I read that they can easily double in size the first few days.

 

[Kissyboots]

Wow. I added these pics to the "cory spawning habits" and you can really tell the difference betwee day one and day two/three. It's really interesting. Now at least I have an excuse for having the fry. If it wasn't "learnatory" my mom would probably make me stop!

lol nice fry

Well you will have to keep updating this thread with all the new pictures so we can see how the little guys are doing

 

[Kissyboots]

New update: The other fry hatched too. Unfortunately I was gone for 20 min. in which time he decided to come out of the egg. Oh well. Still, I can't tell the difference between the two so I can't give you guys another pic...sorry...

 

[alter40]

Its just exciting that he hatched too. Now you have an even better chance of having a fry raised to adulthood

 

[Kissyboots]

Hehe. At least they're not upside down like the last one was...yet!

 

[alter40]

Well maybe you can find some of that fry food and that will help out some.

 

[Kissyboots]

Yeah, I totally wanted to go today, but my brother had regionals (band thing) (I couldn't go cuz I have a cold sore *SICK* I play trumpet, only girl in my section of seven, kinda sucks), my mom was teaching a German class, and tonight we have German people coming over to sing (and eat of course.) So, I HOPE I can go tomorrow. *SUNSMILE*

 

[alter40]

Sounds like a busy day. Hopefully you make it there tomorrow and find some fry food.

I can't wait to have some fry now lol

 

[Kissyboots]

So, I bought "first bites" today and put some in. I can't tell if they're eating any cuz they're so small. We'll see...

 

[Kissyboots]

I found a fertilyzed egg in the 20g yesterday and figured it couldn't hurt to save it. Today it hatched. So now I have three cory fry. One or two is bound to die but hopefully at least one makes it!

 

[alter40]

Awesome news

Can you tell if they are eating the first bites at all yet?

 

[TabMorte]

Congradulations! Send more pics as they grow we all want to see!

 

[Kissyboots]

Well, they don't move very much. But there's a definite difference in size between the older two and the new guy. So I assume they must be eating something! Occasionally, they'll swim around and then sit there again for a while. Maybe that's when they eat.

 

[Kissyboots]

So here's some pics: (fry one, fry two, and new guy)

 

[alter40]

Wow you really can tell the difference between them. The two older ones are so much darker then the new guy.

Good Luck with them

Well, for a while they'll still be attached to their yolk sac and will be feeding off that. Can you tell if any of them have yolk sacs attached? Do the older ones?

This is pretty cool.

 

[Kissyboots]

Um...there was some egg stuff floating around...and from the pictures above, I don't think they're attached to that anymore?
