View Full Version : Why formed cories but never lived?

So I got another batch of albino cory eggs and put them in the breeder net in a 5 gallon. Some fungused which happens. Today there were free swimming little ones but some of the eggs on the slate were still white but were a fully formed fry. Why would that happen? Has it happened to you? Just wondered if I caused it yesterday. I did a water change and the slate was out of the water for maybe 5 minutes. Would that cause this to happen?:Dunno:

Thanks guys!

I am still unexperience with cory fry so unfortunately I don't have an answer for you Barb. I am happy you have a few little guys left though. Congrats on the new fry, there's something magic in that water you and have Kristy I swear it! Sounds like your cories are very happy. :yes:

Thanks Kat. Wait till yours start spawning, the fry are almost invisible. My first batch I was going to clean the net out as I thought they were all fungused but something tiny caught my eye and I realized it was a cory fry!

Took some pics of the fry today. Go take a look.
