Title: Pygmy Cory Fry.
Post by: Fiona on July 03, 2016, 05:33:25 PM: Hopefully i've got it right this time. I finally managed to get a photo and some footage of one of the medium sized fry. Ironically I had just put the phone down and the little thing swam back and forth across the front of the tank and by the time I'd got the phone out again it was having another prolonged period of rest ::)

;D
