Well I am not sure where the eggs came from..I thought at first they were from the Rasboras.but I am now thinking they are from the Cories i have in there. I have 4 green emerald cories and the eggs were all over the place. they hatched pretty quick..and now I have all these little frey I believe in the tank they hang out down in the rocks and plants..I am n ot sure what they are because they are so small..I didn't seperate them from the tank..I really didn't want any more fish anyhow does anyone have any pictures of eather rasbora frey or Cory..I really can't get a good look at them and tell for sure what they are..and amazing enough they are surviving not beeing eaten yet..thanks

Well, mj, that is what is called the survival of the fittest. That is why fish have so many fry because so many of them don't survive to reproduce. This is how they improve their inclusive fitness by massive numbers of fry. Congratulations and enjoy them. Pretty soon you should be able to tell whether they are cories or rasboras.

congratulations mj, i usually let mine just survive in the adult tank, primarily because I never see eggs, I just see the fryglad they are surviving well heidi

Congratulations for the fry & hopefully they'll be Corydoras.
