Any one here know what to feed baby corys? They are about 3.5 weeks old. Survivors from a litter of 50 or so. I know not litter but don't know what to call it, hatchlings? Anyways, They are the size of little shrimps in their own safety net. Not sure if I should let them rome freely yet. I have been feeding them HBH Baby Bites and Brine shrimp off and on. What should they eat and when should I let them go in the whole 20 gallon tank.
Currently have:
8 Rasboras,
2 Guppies,
3 Albino Corys
3 CRS
This is a planted tank. See image.

Keep them in there for a while they would most likely get eaten. Baby brine shrimp works great for them but you could do finely crushed flake. Good luck I just had some hatch last night

Thanks, I was tempted to let them out since they are the size of my shrimps but I will hold off.

I would think that if they've taken BBS, then flakes crushed up really good should work well too and may be easiest and cleanest. Angelfish at the "sub-pea" size can handle it, then I would think these guys could too at the size you describe. BTW, I'm quite jealous. I have corys in almost every tank and I'd love to give them a try. I have a whole "flock" of Sterbai coming out of QT this week. And that's a REALLY nice tank you got there!

That's what I fed mine too. Baby brine shrimp and crushed flakes. With these little guys you have to keep the ground as clean as you can because the fry spend so much time on the ground.

When I was breeding cories I would just crush up New Life Spectrum for them, worked great.
