My fry tank is 38 ltr, heated and air driven sponge filter. I put the 25 sterbai cory fry in there about 4 days ago, and they just seem to stay huddled in the 1 corner or if they do move about they stay on the siliconed edge.
The tank is bare bottom with no lighting. Are they scared or what? Any advice welcome.

Observe your fish, are there any signs of disease, are they feeding well. What do they do at night-time. Try some small livefood such as microworm or grindalworm.

Fry like to be able to get under some cover. You could add a cave or two, or a couple of weighted down silk plants to make them more secure. I have a small silk plant in with my yellow lab fry and they swim around more with it in the tank, since they have somewhere to hide if they feel threatend. Remember, in the wild fry are very vulnerable and spend most of their time in hiding.

cheers for the replys, ive added 3 very small black plant pots, which seem to be doing the trick.
