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 ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200504/944b6685e790b0889ee44874d0d703b1.jpg)

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! ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200504/d04344156e26dc7850d59d7c93adea29.jpg)

My setup for the eggs.... ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200504/91fae4ca0dfb3abee10cd8f66ca89513.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200504/aef1ceb71292a440c0ff6dd96170260a.jpg) 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...... ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200504/6391490f7133bef16cf109515ec8824b.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200504/ee4330be3f0be8ad9bb53b044eac9718.jpg) 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 a short update!
Still have 3 of the original fry, as well as 3 new ones. Pulling about 4 eggs a day for the past three days. Will keep you posted!

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! ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200514/94ec474cc819b490bdbb4db04ec893d1.jpg) There are only four fry in the picture. The largest and the smallest ones were on the other end of the breeder box.
