Good evening everyone! I just finished my hunt for eggs and fry in my tank that I set up to breed my white panda corydoras. Well first of all these fish are hiding all the eggs on me. I found some in the java moss, some in the sand, some under the drift wood, and my favourite under the sponge filter. However the best part was, as I was hunting for the eggs I found 4 tiny fry as well. I was able to capture 3 of the 4, however I had to give up the hunt. I do not want to chase the little bugger all night. As they are white, they are extremely difficult to see! Here are some bad pictures

Also as I did not expect to have fry, I did not have a fry saver set up, so I improvised. An in tank fry saver with the sponge filter overflow giving it fresh water and air exchange!

My setup for the eggs.... The picture is quite blue because I have it under my goldfish tank lights, and it is already in sun down mode. Also I do have a drop of methylene blue in the water.

Thanks guys. Today there were two fuzzy eggs that I removed. Also changed how I keep the hatching container. I think the water got a bit cold overnight, and that is the reason for the fungal growth. Here is the new setup...... The fry had their first feeding of bbs, they have nice and orange bellies. I was feeding them vinegar eels for two days, however I think the bbs will be the winner. Also they get decapsulated brine shrimp eggs, powdered earthworm, and black worm pellets.

Well here is an update on the corys. I’m still getting 3-4 eggs a day, however I find only one out of four is a good egg. Also lately the day old fry die. Not sure why. So as of now I have six fry, at different ages. Tried to crop the picture to be able to zoom in onto them. Let me know if it is working! There are only four fry in the picture. The largest and the smallest ones were on the other end of the breeder box.
