Compatability question: Fry, fry, and more fry!

Method
1188 5
So I've been conditioning my pygmy corys for spawning for a couple weeks and they are all fat and sleek. I had planned to do a cold water change this weekend to induce breeding. If they do spawn, I'll move the eggs from my 55 to my 2.5 gallon fry tank.

Here's the complication: on Tuesday I noticed my black skirt tetras spawning, so I whisked them away to my fry tank, where now I have dozens of free swimming tetra fry.

The questions: Should I postpone my planned cory spawning? Or will the fry be ok together if the tetras are a few days older?

Thanks knuggs! The fry tank is cycled, and has an aged air-driven sponge filter as well as fine leaved plants- so the fry ought to be able to find infusoria until I start BBS in a week or so. That's worked in the past.

I forgot to mention the 20-30 platy fry in my quarantine tank! Some time soon I'm going to have to talk to the manager at my LFS.

Does anyone know the best time of day to do a cold water change to stimulate my pygmy corys to spawn?
