Ok I know I'll receive the same link as I did last time but I still say they are metaes...so far I have 5 of them, 3 in the 125. They are just as active and goofy as everyone else, and are now coming out to feast with the rest of my pigs as you'll see in the last picture

For a bit I was afraid I'd messed up moving the other 2 to the 20 gallon, but found them last night, they just don't come out like their siblings:%)

So without further ado, don't ya'll think they are cute?

Here is one where you can see one in their favorite hiding place, other than the airstone:%) even at this age they can't seem to resistI usually find 2 if not all 3 in the cracks of the driftwood, silly little guys

And here I was trying to get a picture of one in a ceramic pot that I keep in the tank, where the BNs like to hide, but last night it became baby homeas well as the hide out for the snails that the clowns haven't gotten yet But, unbeknownest to me one agazzis decided to get a close up as well...

They look more like C. metae than any of the other cories you have. Bandit cories aren't too difficult breed, you may have had a spawning without your knowledge. (I haven't been following your threads, does it show?) You'll be able to tell for sure once the fry get older. Good job on the babies.

They are just so cute heidi michelle. You are very lucky as soon as my corys lay any eggs they get eaten before you can blink an eye.

Thanks ya'll!!! They really are getting bigger by the day. Now it only takes me maybe 5 minutes to spot one, and the rest come soon after...But, a small surprise even I wasn't prepared for came on Friday, when I was doing my nightly stare down...No not younger fry, but I was able to count 5! Yes, FIVE fry in the 125, and 2 in the 20, so right now I'm up to a total of 7

As far as what am I feeding them? They eat what the rest of the corries, clown loaches, and BNs eat...Hikari Algae Wafers, Shrimp Pellets, Defrosted/Frozen Blood Worms, Fish Flakes that have settled to the bottom, Tubifex worms, veggies...like I said whatever the rest eat they eat

Also did I mention that one of my little troupers was ready and prepared for his dinner Saturday Night, and stood his ground against a BN? The BN came up to the fry's chunk of algae wafer, and the fry swam on top of it, and wouldn't move You could literally see him looking at the BN saying, "This is my algae wafer you go find your own!" The BN didn't know what to make of it at first, but did eventually move off to find his own...

Anyways that is the adventures so far...Oh and the fry in the 125 are seeming much less shy than the adults or the fry in the 20 (there are also hasbrosus in the 20)...

Nobody can explain it
Some say she's still alive
They even claim they've seen her
On the shoreline late at night
So if you go down by the water
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne
