Try and id the fry before you jump into the food. that way, you can get whats suited for them.

heres a list or common baby food.

Try taking some plants from your main tank and putting it in the fry tank. I've heard that there is usually some infusoria around plants.

Hi everyone - sorry for not replying. Lost a lot of fry - I read somewhere that bacteria on the bottom of the tank can be detrimental to cory fry as they spend so long just sitting there, so I've got a thin layer of gravel in there now. Bought some fry food (Liquifry) and they seem to be feeding ok. No idea how many I have left - took a lot of little bodies out over the weekend before I put the gravel in. Can see their little barbels now!
Hoping that they make it. Would love to have a nice shoal of about 20 in my 6 foot tank!
And I'll definetly try and get my adults to spawn again once I've figured out how to raise the fry. Early days yet!

Great! Let me know how that Liquifry does for you. I might need to try it out sometime.

Well, they're still alive and seem to be growing, so they must be eating it!
Update if I still have any left in a week.....

From two spawns of something like 100 eggs each I have ONE baby cory left, no idea why they died.
Thread about it here...
