So for the past few months I would sometimes see little clear/white dots on the back wall of my tank but than they would be gone with in a day or so.
I didn't think much of it, figured they were baby snails or something untill two weeks ago I randomly saw a baby corycat swimming along.
I have 3 peppered cory's (2 female 1 male i think) and now one baby.
Now two days ago I notice my big female swimming oddly and I actually got to watch her lay some of her eggs (again) Which was really cool/odd. She layed a bunch on the under side of some leaves than on the back wall again. Since i knew what they were I decided to take a few of them and put in this little isolation tank I have that clips onto the side of the tank (kind of like what they use at the fish store to put your netted fish in). Today I noticed one of the 5 eggs i put in there was missing, I looked closer and theres a very tiny tiny little fish in there- so I assume there will be 4 more soon.
My question is: What do I feed them in the isolated tank/nursery?
and also the nursery tank doesn't set in the actual tank low enough to let in filtered water. Will this be a problem?
Should I get a small filtered tank to raise them in, because I think the main reason why I only had one baby cory from the last batch was because all the other got eaten.
Will the parent cories eat their offspring?
I am not wanting to mass breed corys or anything but i have a few friends with tanks that I could give a cory or two to.
thanks for any advice
