What temp do you keep your cory fry tanks at?

[leighasnana]

I haven't noticed much growth in my cory fry from the 2nd to 3rd week and had the temp at room temperature, these are peppered cories. I wondered if they'd grow faster with a higher temp and what temp you keep your fry tanks at?

I keep my panda babies at ~75-76. They don't seem to like it any warmer than that (as in, they start dying :lipssealedsmilie.

You are right, pandas don't like higher temps than that. I have a single baby albino cory in my 29G, the sole survivor of the first spawn that I didn't know about. That tank is 79-80F. I have around 9 baby albinos that I hatched out and put in a 5G planted tank that I keep at 84F. The babies in the 84F tank are growing much, much faster than the one did in my 29G.

I've been raising the temp a little each day and I think it's a good thing. I was worried that if the water was too warm they'd get a bacterial infection/fungus. It happened to a few of the fry before I began hiking up the temp. I took a close look and part of their tails had worn away - I assumed it was fungus. I haven't had any more die since I began to feed less at one time and increased the temp. I'm so happy to hear that they'll grow quicker. I just want them big enough to join their parents. I'm assuming that the temp should be slowly lowered before I do that so they're not shocked.

My first batch died on me so I really want these little guys to make it. Then I can get another type of cory and do this all over again. lol
