I've had my 20 gallon tank with 6 golden WCMM(3 male 3 female) and 4 pygmy corries for about 10 months, but I've never paid attention to breeding conditions because I wasn't trying to breed them. Today I looked in the tank and, what do you know, a little baby minnow!! Just the one though, so far that I've found anyway, they are small.

So, what do I do with him? Should I take him out of the big tank? The filter current's pretty strong and I don't have anything to fix that with, and I have a 5 gallon and a 1 gallon bowl that I could move him to, neither set up but I could take water out of the big tank and put it in there, but since it's just the one I don't know if he should be on his own?

Also, how to feed him? I've only got flakes, pellets, betta pellets, and freeze dried blood worms.

I really have no idea what to do with him, since I wasn't planning on breeding them I hadn't looked into taking care of a fry at all until about 5 minutes ago!
 
No, don't bother moving it, it'll be fine in the main tank. WCMM do breed very readily, and are not big egg or fry eaters (and nor are the pygmy cories). If you have live plants, it'll be finding plenty of microscopic 'stuff' to feed on :good: Grind up a little flake in the palm of your hand and pop a pinch of that in, near where it is and it'll do fine :)
