New peppered baby cory

I guess this one hatched early because the other eggs have not I hope he survives to be a adult.

Congrats on the cory fry! It's adorable! If it's as big as it seems in your pic, he should be ok to grow up. I had an accidental cory fry too. He's almost adult size now Good luck!

I would not mind having a Cory or 10 but can't with my under gravel filtration. Smooth and polished pea gravel is OK for some corries but pea gravel just isn't that good for my filtration. I'm using tumbled and polished river pebbles that are just too large for a Cory to dig and pea gravel is too small for under gravel filtration as it restricts the water flow through the substrate.

Unless we have several tanks we just can't have every species that we may like.

jaylach, my cories lay eggs on the glass, plants, everywhere! You might just be able to have fry even with UGF.

Fry is not a concern as I have no interest in breeding. The issue is that the river pebbles are too large for the beasties to dig without damage to their barbels.
