corydora fry questions

Water changes should still be daily in the 10 gallon. They grow faster. They produce a growth hormone that slows down the growth of other fry in the area but also to themselves because its a contained system. So water changes are the only way to dilute this to keep them growing to their best potential.

But I dont think that is the reason that some died. I did have danio fry in the tank could they have eaten them because the first day I was missing a bunch but I just thought that they were hiding. I dident think that they would be able to eat them but just incase I moved them anyway.

If they were big enough to fit in the danio fries mouths, being eaten is a possibility.

But being stunted as well can make the fry weaker and naturally succumb to all sorts of things.

When do I stop the daily water changes?

once mostly grown you could probably reduce them to every few days or so...
