I've noticed some eggs and fry in the main tank. Fingers crossed that the parents just leave them be

I hope so, they are really cute fish! I never saw mine spawn, I'd just clean the tank and realize that there were more there than before.

That's what happened to me the first time!

I have fry in the breeder box where a put a few of the eggs. Microscopic fry, but FRY.
I also have a Stomatepia pindu holding, so hopefully she can keep the eggs through hatching and I can just steal the fry from her.

So these guys have continued spawning, a few eggs every day. My first attempts at raising some of the fry were... well, not so good. I finally had success by putting the eggs into a Ziss breeder box INSIDE the adult tank, along with some moss, leaves, etc. in hopes that there'd be some biofilm or something for them to feed on. The eggs of these guys are just slightly smaller than a regular cory egg, and the fry are pretty minuscule. This time, I've managed to get at least a dozen to a size where I could move them into a grow out tank. They seem to be growing super slowly, but what can I expect from a fish that tops out at 3/4 of an inch.

So I now have 6 of these guys somewhat "grown out." Currently, they're about 3/8-1/2 of an inch. These are really mid-sized fish, if you think about it - I mean, the adults only get to be 3/4 of an inch. Sure takes forever to grow these guys out...

I am learning more and more about the different Cory species. The more I learn, the more I'm really starting to like them. These little guys are definitely a really cool species.
