Got A Surprise This Morning

Got a bit of a surprise this morning.

I have some plastic Chinese takeaway containers I keep various fish keeping items in... Food, fetilizer tabs etc.

I also have some for my excess moss.  One of these contains some moss I got out of my Peppered Cory tank that had come away from the rock it was super glued to.

I had put it in a container and put some tak water and put it on my window cill. This was about 2 weeks ago.

Went to into the "fish room" ie spare bedroom this morning and for some reason had a look at the moss and to my surprise there was about 10 fry swimming about - maybe more under the moss.

So no heater and no air stone and I have fry swimming about in an old Chinese takeaway container.

I will have to rethink where my Peppered Cory fry are going to go. I have 6 25mm Cory's growing in a 20 litre tank and 5 adults in the 64 litre. I might have to get another tank.

Think I will get another tank.

I have just built another rack to hold 5 - 40cm x 30cm x 30cm.

This fish keeping in not a cheap pastime. 

Yes, this sort of thing does happen. It's happened to me with corys. Took plants out of a tank and put them in a washing up bowl kept specifically for plats/fish stuff. A few weeks later, spotted a little cory in the bowl.
Always check plants & moss, they can contain some adorable little surprises. 

I have some photos but trying to get them to the size needed to post on forum seems a little difficult.

I could do with some advice about moving the fry.

Would they be okay moving them to a hang on fry isolation box.

I have some fry food. So if I move them I could feed them. Would I need to put the moss in with them.

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks I will do a search for the app.

It's a plastic fry box.  It is basically like a hang on back filter without the media.

It has a tube that fits into the aquarium and an overflow part and is run off a air pump.

Thanks for the photos, great plant mass in the 60, Iooks great 

The plastic fry box sounds perfect to me.
