Raised by Cories

[Kaz]

Not sure if this should be in the livebearers or Cory section or livebearer but I put it here so yeah.

I have two little baby platies.

Now both parents of the fry have died (livebearers don't raise their fry I know, but bear with me.) So much like I was raised by a pack of coyotes when I was removed from the house, as far as I can tell these little guys have been taken in by a pack of cories.

So this is how it went as far as I can tell

Platy fry: Hey look, a sinking shrimp pellet.
Cory: DON"T TOUCH THAT! I'LL KILL YOU! I LOVE MY SINKING SHRIMP PELLETS!
PF: Aaaaah!
Cory: Hey! There's something shiny!
(Cory swims off)
PF: Hmm there's still a bit left...
(PF struggles to eat shrimp pellet)
Cory2: You have to dig your head into the ground a bit.
PF: Oh, okay
(PF successfully nabs shrimp pellet)
Cory2: Good job ther- OH MY GOD AN ALGAE PELLET!
Cory3: Algae pellet!
Cory4: It is delicious!
Cory(1): NOOOOOO! DON'T TOUCH THAT! I'LL KILL YOU! I LOVE MY ALGAE PELLETS!
Cory3: I'm gonna get there first!
(All Cories make their way to the algae pellet)
PF: :sconfused:
PF2: Weird, aren't they?
Cory5: Who wants to be tackled?!
Cory4: I want to be tackled!
Cory6: Hey! Check out this glass!
Cory2: Look! A tetramin flake!
Cory1: NOOOOO! DON'T TOUCH THAT! I'LL KILL YOU! I LOVE MY TETRAMIN FLAKES!
PF: Hey look, they left the algae pellet alone.
PF2: Let's grab some!
Cory3: Did somebody say algae pellet!
Cory2: LOOK! IT'S OVER THERE!
Cory1: NOOOOOO! DON'T TOUCH THAT! I'LL KILL YOU! I LOVE MY ALGAE PELLETS!
(All cories swarm algae pellet, knocking up small bits of algae pellet in the air)
PF1: Let's grab the stuff they are kicking up!
PF2: (eating bits of algae pellet) Om nom nom?
PF1: Oh.

~Two weeks later~

Cory6: I have barbels on my face!
Cory5: Oh my god you do!
Cory2: LOOK! Brine shrimp!
PF: BRINE SHRIMP!? I love brine shrimp!
Cory1: NOOOOO! DON'T TOUCH THAT! I'LL KILL YOU! I LOVE MY BRINE SHRIMP!
Cory3: Did somebody say Brine shrimp?!
Cory4: These are good!
PF2: Tackle him!
Cory5: OKAY!
Cory6: That wisteria plant is awesome!
PF1: OMG! Tetramin flakes!
Cory1: NOOOOO!

And so on and so on and so forth.

Basically since my Cories are blind/mentally unstable they leave huge amounts of small food that is perfect for my young platies. So Now whenever I feed my fish, the cories go crazy for the ood and the platies are right next to them digging through the sand.
Dear Lord, what have I just wrote?
