Hey kissyboots could you help me in my new thread titled Cory Info?

So, I had soaked the algae wafers in Vitamin C for the GBR that had some problem, and of course the cories ate it too. Shortly after they started laying eggs again. Since they haven't done that for quite some time and nothing else seems to have drastically changed, I can safely assume that they like Vitamin C.

I've been watching their "mateing" dance for weeks.... haven't seen any fry but I haven't really known what to look for. So as for me this was extremely helpful. Who knows... many a fry could have ended up falling victom to a water change/gravel & plant cleaning.

Thanks for the info... Now I can watch for the fry.

It could be that the eggs are getting eaten, which is why you don't have fry. Cories do eat their own eggs and livebearers like them as a snack too.
