Thanks everyone! Ian -- how long do I leave the little cory fry in the container? Does it matter what I use? What do I feed them when they are born? I have not had any fry yet except for guppies and they pretty much do everything on their own :wink: I will look into the blue gourami... I am ...

So sorry for you loss, poor little guy looks terrible! good luck with the rest of the ones you have!!
