Albino cory cats-1st timer.

Post by ronv »

Spawn 4-12-05. 20 gal long. I took the parents out immediately. Some eggs fungused. Some hatched, I think. Lots of plants. Pretty good layer of mulm on tank bottom. I have squirted a few baby brine shrimp in a few times. I don't see any fry. Should I be able to by now. I didn't do any sort of anti-baterial meds.What do you think?

You should be able to tell if some of the eggs hatched....do you see any fry?

How planted is the tank, btw? If it's a jungle, then the fry may be very hard to find...

Most of the plants are floating, but there is quite a bit of mulm on the bottom. I don't see any fry. I don't know if any hatched. I didn't use meth. blue or anything for fungus. Is that absolutely necessary? How big would the fry be at about 1 week?
