Sorry to hear Jon, thats a shame :(
I’ve never had corys, but i would imagine the fry are fairly sensitive to start off with.
To the tune of “the saints go marching in”:
Oh fluffy sheep! Oh fluffy sheep! Oh fluffy sheep are wonderful, they’re white Welsh and fluffy! Oh fluffy sheep are wonderful!

That's a shame. :(
I get a lot of losses with corys, all the gossei fry I've ever had only got to about 8 weeks max.
The pandas get about 3 successes per batch, if that.
None of the others I've had have successfully spawned.
It is harder if the water isn't exactly the same as that in which they were spawned as well.

Sorry to hear that.

Something just wasn't meant to be this time because you know you can raise them successfully. :[

Well, dear friends, I decided to empty and clean the Kintergarten tank and started with fishing (unfortunate term) the dead bodies out. But very much to my real surpise although two were definitely no longer with us, one of the "dead bodies" scurried away as soon as my net approaced. So I quickly and gently cleaned the tank, so as to give the little thng the best chance I can to survive. A small dose of Infusoria and later some Daphnia for deserts. I won't tempt fate by giving a continual report of the tiddlers progress, I'll just wait to see what happens. Poor little bugga.... its' a real orphan!
