Can you eat them when they grow up?

A bit like whitebait, then? Roll them in flour and then quick fry?

That's precisely why we had mesh flooring put in about 2 feet above the usual floor level after our kids were born. Jeez, we were hungry, those were lean times, but the kids all survived, though they walk with a bit of a stoop.
and have scoop marks in their shouldersThe mesh is a breading net. Night Train is right, the babies are in the main tank, so we use the net to stop the other fish eating them.

I'm just trying to treat my Goldfish before sending them on to a nice pond somewhere. One is reasonably healthy, but the other had Pop Eye (yes yes) and Scepticemia, so it is one anti biotics at the moment (seriously).

At least you won't be up at all hours changing nappies.

We get a lot of eggs in the tank. Think it has a lot to do with the water quality and water changes being slightly cooler than the tank water.
The Cherry Barbs scatter eggs everywhere, but they are hoovered up by the Rummy Nose Tetra, who haven't yet produced eggs. (Something to do with them being infertile when in some water conditions).
Hoping that the baby Cory's will grow a bit more, think that they can be released into the tank after six weeks or so.

Congrats! I've managed to get baby corydoras before as well, with me the trick was to spot the mother fish as after she's got the eggs fertilised she dashes about with them between two of her fins looking for somewhere to put them. I got her in the net and she put the eggs on the net, then I turned it inside out and the babies hatched in there. Very cute fish they are! Many years ago now though
I used to poo poo all the forums who went on about tank size and fish stocking levels. We had a 54 litre tank and upgraded to a 240 litre one last week. The fish absolutely love it. We now have 17 small happy fish.
