Two week old panda corydoras. Really hoping they make it!!

Two week old panda corydoras. Really hoping they make it!!

The two survivors out of six! They’re growing fast and I really hope they make it. I’ve been feeding them frozen brine shrimp, live micro worms, hikari first bites, and they finally just got their first taste of some powdered adult food mixed in with first bites.

Watching their color/pattens develop is such a cool experience. They went from looking like sperm with eyes to actually kinda looking like fish. I understand that they might not make it but I really hope they do. Nothing would make me prouder than being able to say that I raised some baby fish, especially since my first attempt resulted in no survivors, and the second ended up in what I can only describe as quasimoto fish.

Two out of six Cory fry have died, should I move the remaining fry to smaller box within their tank to monitor them?

They’re roughly a 7 days old, found two dead yesterday. I’ve been cleaning regularly and feeding them. I know that corydoras fry fatality is normal but I’m worried that maybe I’m not cleaning the bottom of the tank well enough? There’s a bunch of cattapa leaves they hide under.

Water readings look good but nitrites were just slightly higher than I’d like so I did another water change. I was wondering if I should gather up my remaining fry and keep them in a box within their tank so I can better clean, feed, and monitor them

Geometry nodes and motion blur?

Does anyone know if there are any ways to use geometry nodes without motion blur causing flickering?

I’ve been getting really into different geometry node uses like the hair system and I want to try more stuff, but the flickering that happens when I use motion blur in animation is extremely distracting.

From what I’ve heard it has something to do with IDs, but I’m still fairly new to geometry nodes so I’m not really sure.

How do I keep my cory fry alive?

I hatched some panda cory eggs in a separate 3 gallon tank. I reallyyy want these guys to survive, i've hatched eggs successfully before but the fry all seemed to die.

Last time I used small amounts of Methelyne blue in the water to prevent fungus. A few of the babies seemed to have birth defects but im not sure if this was due to anything I did or just genetics. This time I used tannins rather than methylene blue to see if that helps. If they have birth defects again I'm going to stop hatching the eggs because I feel like that indicates an issue with my adult corydoras' genetics.

They have a heater, plants, and a bubbler currently. I'm doing water changes manually. Does anyone have any more tips? I really want these little guys to live!!
