Thanks, you too!

Awesome! I'd probably just stick to 3. I was told you need three to have them school and it's about an inch of fish per gallon. I'll have to make sure they are all males before I leave the store or I'll have the same problem.

It is! I guess from now on I need to ask them for specific genders. I could separate the one male and get all females after this but I've read that often times the ones you get from pet stores are pregnant. My kids like the babies so a few aren't so bad but I definitely don't want as many as...

So based on that looks like I have one male and three females.

Thanks! That's actually way more helpful than most of the pictures I've found.

Thanks! I got a breeder net or whatever it's called. So they are separated now. I have three left as well. I honestly have no idea if I have a male. I've looked at the thread and other pictures online but I can't tell the difference. Hopefully she is done for now.

I think I know which one was pregnant. I've included pictures of two of them. But my question is, is she still pregnant? I read that they will drop around 12+ fry. I think most of mine got eaten since I didn't know she was pregnant. Is it possible she's not done? How long is the process? I'm...

I'd like to keep these if I can. We're new and lost a bunch of our fish to inexperience and these guys are so cute. I haven't pointed them out to my kids yet because I don't want them to be sad if they are eaten. Can I place them in a smaller tank using the same water? Would a run of the mill...

I have some unexpected babies in a tank that I didn't cycle so I'm trying to fix that (inexperience, there's separate older post about that). I don't know what to do with the babies. They are hiding in the duck weed right now. I didn't know I had a pregnant fish. Since I noticed them last night...

We lost one more even though the water is still testing fine. But now I have another mystery. There's a baby fish (fry?) in my duck weed. I don't see any others and I'm pretty sure I didn't have any pregnant fish. Also a random baby snail I think. Do I just hope it makes it?

Just a quick update. We still have 5 of the fishes! Checking the water every day and changing if it's anywhere above 0 on ammonia and nitrite. I will say that I bought some Biodigest. It's supposed to help drastically with the bacteria colonization and I think it's really making a big...

Ok, we got some duck weed. Last question for now, can I leave the fish in the tank? With so many water changes, I'm worried catching them will stress them more.
