got them!
one of the males had a mouth full of babies and the stress of the jurney home caused him to spit some of them out, but they seem well doveloped and so long as he dont eat them while in the floating bag acclimatising, then i rekon they will be fine you have a pm devon_charm |

well they have been put into their tank now. the bag with the male and babied i put into a container so i could syphon off the babies and i put them in a tank with a load of baby splendens, some of the splendon fry are growing fast so i hope they dont eat the baby simplex, time will tell.
