I moved my bronze cory fry to a 2 gallon container while I cleaned their net, so I thought I would take a few pictures. I counted a total of 37 babies, they are from three different batches of eggs. The oldest one was born 7/23, so he will be a month old tomorrow, happy birthday lil' guy :19: ! The youngest were born last week, on a thursday, so happy birthday to those too! Anyways here are the pics, enjoy!
Can you count 37?:

The middle children, three of the fry from my second batch, just over three weeks old, there are 9 in total, originally 15:

My baby, the only survive from my first ever batch (originally three), he escaped from the breeder net and lived among the big fish for a few days before I captured him again, he getting so big!:

Here you can see the size difference, one from each batch. The big guy to the left 1 month, then the 3 week in the middle, and the week old at the bottom:

Took some more pics of my cory fry, they are getting so big! I have 35, which means three have died, but still 35 is a big yield. I moved them into their 20g tank along with some guppy fry, I plan to grow them out and then find homes for them.

So my oldest fry is about to turn 2 months old! And my youngest are almost a month now. I wasn't able to count them today, they are just too quick now, I haven't found any dead ones, but I did however kill two today when I sucked them through the siphon :(. I know I have roughly thirty.
I snagged some new picks.
This one is a bit blurry, but you can see these two look just like their parents:

Most of the fry still have their spots:

Those are just to cute! Congrats.
What are those green bead looking things in with them in the one pics? Are they eggs? I hate to be so dumb but I don't know much about cory cats except they are cute.

Thanks guys, I almost forgot I updated this post :P
What green bead things are you refering to Dixie? There are some floating plants, they are a nuisance.

Just a few pics, getting bigger everyday. Unfortunately one of the two month old fry has developed fungus and I think his whiskers are gone, so I am treating pimafix, hope all goes well. Everyone else looks happy and healthy, the current count is 24.

Thanks guys.
The fry with the fungus died this morning :(. I moved three of the larger fry into my 55 gallon, they seem to be very happy in the big tank! TMy fungused cory would have gone to the big tank too if he recovered. So I guess that leaves 20 fry in the fry tank.

A[Only Registered Users Can See Links.] sorry about the loss but at least you didn't lose them all. I guess the green things WERE plants floating on the top of the water (blushing).
