Advice On 5 Week Old Cory Fry Please

[zigzagabout]

I have approx 26 cory fry they are 5 weeks old and are currently in a breeding net in a new cycled tank that has 4 danio fish in. I am thinking of releasing the fry into the tank (125 litre) and taking the danio's out (I have another tank 180 litre that I could put them into. My question is will the fry produce enough waste (ammonia) to feed the bacteria ( I don't want it to starve) also will I get a bacteria bloom (cloudy water) if I release them all at the same time?

Yes they will be fine, and they will produce enough to keep the filter going, has long has the filter is fully cycled you shouldn't get any bactera bloom.

Thanks for your advice, I am also worried about them going into the filtre so I might wait another week or so, as there are a couple that don't seem to want to grow very fast so they are very tiny.

Either wrap some sponge around the intake or some stocking/tights will do the job until they grow a little.
