Bronze Cory Fry

[thx138]

Hello (first post).  A question about bronze cory fry.  I have a 'litter' of the little fellows that are about 3 weeks old. About a 1/2 inch in length, and obviously cory's. There are about 40 of the little guys.  My question is about thier colouring. They are speckled and don't look like bronze cory colouring.  When I had small panda cory's they had the adult coloring at an even smaller size so I was expecting the bronze to be similar.  Is this normal or have I got something else happening?  Thanks

Most cory fry have a peppered appearance for quite a while they slowly start changing colour as they get bigger, the 'peppering' acts as camouflage to hide them from predators.
