Hey all, this is my first post here.
So I have bronze cory fry that are 6 weeks old and about half an inch in size.
Currently they in a hang on fluval breeding box, I have about 40.
I’m going on holiday in a few days and just looking for advice to keep them alive while am away.
Should I just leave them all in the breeder (concerned about the mess in this as I siphon the crap out daily) or will it be safe to put in main tank that has 2 dwarf gouramis, guppies, platies, 2 bristle nose plecs and the adult corys.
Other options are to split and put some in my small QT tank aswell as in a 15l bucket I can fill with a sponge filter from my main tank.
What you all think? I will have someone come round every 2 days to feed while am away, will this be enough?
Thanks

Not sure how long you will be gone, but I have left my fish room alone and without any food on several occasions for up to three weeks with zero losses. Many South American fishes will go without food for months in the dry season in the wild.
At 1/2 inch they should be fine in the main tank.
