First Cory’s!
I got my first babies yesterday! All I know is they are Pygmy. Do you have any more information?

Safe to say they love this flow from my new filter?
I set the flow to go like this towards the back wall and they're just racing with the flow from time to time 😍☺️😂

So happy I never gave up on corydoras.
I’m new to fishkeeping, and I’m so glad I didn’t give up on corydoras.
I know fish death is something that happens, but I wasn’t ready for it in the beginning. After feeling like corydoras die, I was ready to give up. After adding cherry barbs and leaving them be for 2 weeks, I just so happened to see panda corydoras at a trusted LFS.
I knew I had to try. One passed within a few days despite doing what I could (he was not eating no matter what). I was worried my remaining 5 panda corydoras wouldn’t be happy.
Ever since then, in addition to regular maintenance, all I did was rearrange plants, added driftwood, and more botanicals. I added a mystery snail a while back too. Just that with time and they’re not only happy, they’re thriving. I see them visibly getting a bit bigger, and I even added a chill betta to this tank.
I know that it can be stressful at times, but seeing everyone just so happy and thriving together with all the space they have makes my heart full. Just wanted to share that!

Albino cory... just gregarious??
I have a pair of baby pandas and a pair of baby albinos. My pandas linger around the bottom of the tank, crawling around the rocks and only occasionally coming up to the middle of the tank to play in the bubbles. But one of my albinos (Niki) seems to never get out of the middle of the tank. She lets the bubbles push her up, then the filter push her back down and does it all over again. She swims all around the upper and lower parts of the tank like she's not even a bottomfeeder at all! Is this bad? Is she supposed to be so active? I'm scared that she's stressed or something.

Chonkers is still well btw!
Haven’t posted chonkers in a hot minute. She’s super happy, and loves taking care of her babies (stealing their food) She and my emeralds I believe made coppers? Am I right to assume that? Reddish tink to the fins and a much more iridescent body than any of my others!

Reunited
While I wanted to wait a little while longer, I came home from work to no power in my fry tank. My cats must have messed with it but I got everything back on. I decided to move my five babies back into my community tank with their parents. I didn't want to risk anything else happening while I wasn't home. Do you think they're a good size to be in there? The only other fish are guppies and neon tetra.

Hikari sinking wafers killing my cory?
First time had my cory lay eggs. Collected "all" of the eggs and put them in quarantine tank.
Had 100 or more hatch. Was excited.
Feed them what I had on hand mostly northfin fry starter and grind up other foods I feed my fish.
Seemed okay first two weeks but wanted to give them more proper food.
So got frozen brine shrimp and Hikari sinking wafer as I read somewhere it'd break down for fry.
Soon after my fry started to die off, thought maybe bad water, kept changing, added catappa leaves.
Stopped adding the sinking wafers after 2-3 weeks since I didnt like how they broke down and fish didn't eat all of them, told myself maybe they were too small.
Things stabilized some 25 survived 6 weeks in.
Started adding the wafers again and a few died again.
Can't be sure if it was the food or something else but I'm pulling them off my feeding cycle to see if any more die. But seems a bit of coincidence with my wafer feeding, kind of clicked my in head today that it could be the cause.
Mainly posting this to figure out if anyone else had issue with these wafers?
Kicker is there's one egg which hatched in the main tank with other fish and he seems to be doing better than the quarantine ones.

I need help. She is upsidown at the bottom of the tank (read post)
- N peaked, I started the process of changing the water to improve the quality.
- Not sure if it's related to the high N, but this cory started struggling so I removed her and placed her in my spare emergency mini tank
- Read online about giving antibiotics because of bladder infection because the symptoms matched
- she's apparently getting worse even in pristine water
It's been around 12 hours since this started!! (first portion of the video was 12 hours ago, last part was just now)

Apollo
Apollo is my favorite and oldest Cory. Just wanted to share a pic of him doing his favorite activity, chilling on a leaf.

Is there something wrong
I have three panda corys in a 10 gal and one of them swims weirdly and seems very lethargic. I’ve only seen it eat one when I feed. The other two are active and eating. I know my nitrites are a bit high, because the water in my house had had issues and I haven’t been able to do a water change, but I’m not sure that’s the problem. My pH is also a little low, typically around 6.5 or so. The tank is just these three corys and some plants. This one that doesn’t move also lists around sometimes and her tail seems to float a little. She didn’t move as much as the other two when I first got her but I’m worried it’s a swim bladder issue.
