OH DEAR IM OVER MY HEAD! Several of my Cory catfish eggs which I gently removed when they were to a breeder net and kept it in the same aquarium as the adults have actually hatched and now I don't know what to do! HELP. They r amazingly TINY & seem so helpless. I want to do the best thing for them so they'll reach adulthood and maybe I can give them to one of our better Aquatics stores. I think they just hatched last night or early this morning. I've already bought them Hikari first bites but all the literature says to just let them be for two days and they'll eat the yolk sacs. Problem is I'm going to have to move them into a grow out tank which I have, but it's not ready. It's a 5 gallon Fluval I just don't have any water or anything in it and I don't know how to cycle rapidly. Can anyone give me suggestions as to how I can get this 5 gallon Fluval ready, when I should transfer the teeny weeny babies into that tank, how to do partial water changes when they're just going to get sucked up in anything I use to remove the old water, & why does the tank water smell AWFUL? I just did a 35 to 40% water change 2 days ago.
Thx. For ANY help. I really wasn't trying to get any kind of babies. I bought the cc to help clean up the infestation of worms in pest snails in that 5 gallon Fluval and they did a nice job but I still had snails so I had to tear the whole tank down and sanitize it. I was hoping to get a second betta fish to put in that 5 gallon Fluval but now I guess it has to be a grow out tank for the baby Cory's.
