Cory Catfish Babies

My 10 gallon betta + cory tank has recently been giving me some worry because 2 of my cory catfish died last month and I was afraid it might be due to poor water quality?! But I tested my water and it was fine....But yesterday I discovered some cause for celebration - my cory catfish mated and hatched some babies! Sadly, I only caught sight of one or two because I think I accidentally destroyed the rest of the eggs. I'd removed them thinking they were snail eggs...but turns out they were cory eggs!! Oh well, I know better now. The betta must've eaten the rest of the babies....I was uber excited to find cory fry. They look like livebearer fry but with slightly grey bands/markings.

I've also recently made several additions to my 29 gallon tank, which is now a tad overstocked.

I added:

5 female guppies (2 with flaming orange/yellow tails, 1 with a turquoise tail, 2 reg. yellow ones)
2 Kuhli loaches (4cm each)
1 Butterfly Hillstream Loach

2 of the female guppies are already pregnant, the 3 other ones are still juveniles. The Kuhli loaches are amazing and adorable...but they are so shy they just burrow and hide so I rarely see them. They are small still and have beautiful markings. The butterfly loach (which looks like a tiny pleco) is also really shy but adorable. Apparently he's a coolwater fish though so I may have to make new arrangements for him......Sad news is I think my guppies all have gill flukes because they have inflamed gills and gasp for breath all the time...I may need to buy Maracyn-2 really soon.

Here is my final stocking for the 29 gallon tank. I don't think I can add any more fish...but I may startup a 40 gallon tank soon...

6 fancy male guppies
5 fancy female guppies
2 Platy fish (being bullied so I will rehome them soon)

2 Kuhli Loaches

2 Honey Golden Dwarf Gouramis
some Trumpet Snails


Yup.
