I have baby cories!

I have tried so many times to get eggs that would hatch. I have only ever managed 2 babies in all my years of having a fish tank. The other day one of my cories blew eggs all of the glass. I decided I will try again. I scraped them off the glass and put them in a bowl. Then after about a day I decided to put the bowl with all the stuck eggs on it into my 10 gallon tank. It has nothing is in except for some plants. So if they hatched they would be safe from other fishes. Day before yesterday I went and looked, yet again, and was shocked as I saw 2 babies swimming around in the bowl. Then I realized there were a lot of babies swimming around the bottom of the tank! I was so excited. I have attached a video, it is not a good video and the water looks awful, but I assure you it is crystal clear in real life. I have no idea why it looks murky unless the lense on my phones camera had film of some kind on it...actually that is probably why. I have to clean the lenses all the time LOL Anyway, just wanted to share the babies. They look like little white tadpoles LOL The video is sideways as well. I guess in my excitement should have cleaned the lenses and turned the phone LOL

Feed them microworms if you have them. Try to get some if you don't..

What species? If you have any detritus from your other tanks--what the oldtimers called 'mulm'...decaying vegetable /plant matter etc---throw it in there.

I ordered some fry food powder this morning. There are tiny pieces of hornwort in the tank with them. I can look for some rotting leaves in my 75 and put it in the tank.
They are green cories. I have some albino cories, but I saw the fish releasing the eggs and it was a green cory
