Hi, Just a quick question.. how can you tell when an endler female is pregnant? i've bred platy's & guppie's b4 but it doesnt seem so apparant in my endler female.. a slight gravid spot, a slight bulge but nothing for sure. I just dnt want to seperate her if i dont have to. Any pictures of a...

heya! just to let u all know i found 4 little fry swimmimg in my tank.. managed 2 capture 3 of them whilst the otha 1 has gone rogue in my big rock & plants so hopefully it will be okay. just another quick question, will she give birth again in about a months time? or is that it now?>

as an update, i thought i'd let u guys no my platy is doing fine & turns out she is pregnant. i knew the gravid spots was supposed 2 be black but got confused wen a big red patch developed. cuz shes white shes quite see thru in the hood light when near the surface, i can see little blue/green...

Hi, i was wondering what the 2 red patches are that my white micky mouse platy has developed. They were definatly not there before, she has also now got abit of a belly on her. Am i possibly over feeding her? all my other fish appear normal.. i'll attatch a picture & hopefully you'll reply with...

sad 2 say my red platy is half the size she was with virtually no gravid spots 2 be seen now, i guess i missed her have them & the other fish ate them all.. typical after weeks of waiting. it was my 1st live bearer pregnancy, i have learned alot & now know exactly what some of you guys meant...

Hi, i noticed last night that 1 of my powder blue dwarf gourami's acting oddly.. just very motionless resting in my floating plants, today though when i came home from work hes lying down side up at the bottom of the tank but hes still alive. i have no idea why this has happend. i have another...

Congrats guys!! iv decided my platy is just having a phantom pregnancy, been just as fat with huge gravid spots and yet 3 weeks later nothing lol! frustrating as hell ha! nice one tho on your lots little arrivals!

hi!! shes still exactly the same, switched to having the light on during the evening and then off of a night.. i swear its taking forevvvverrrrr waiting for her 2 have them.. i'm pretty sure tho i havent missed her having some because shes stil as big & the gravid spots seem 2 of gotten abit...

Hi and thank you for your posts.. yeh i have been worrying about her getting stresed, she keeps trying to seclude herself in various corners of the tank but the male always eventually finds her & the chase begins again. Its abit weird realy because with my other female platy hes really gentle &...

i'm still waiting for my platy 2 drop, been watching the tank like a hawk but still nothing (unless shes dropped a few & they got picked off quickly).. been about a week now.. sure shes guna explode lol! good luck 2 every1 else whose awaiting babies :)

hi, yeah mine still hasnt dropped any fry yet (as far as i know of), shes trying 2 hide & i have plenty of plants but my male platy seems to of gone on an aggresive rampage continuely scanning round the tank for her. you mentioned about females dropping their fry at night, i usually leave my...

hi i'm just about to purchase a nice juwel vision 240 4ft tank. i'd like 2 get some kind of parrot fish but i have no idea if they have special requirements to there care or habitat. Any input would be great from you guys as i could do with some decent info Thank you in advance, MaXx :)

thank you for your reply, i have her in a breeding fry trap now but as i have read up more and more about live bearers i read that they can get stressed very easily wen kept like this. i am very tempted to let her out in2 the main tank and just take my chances that i notice the fry flickering...

hi agen, no babies as of yet but i thought i'd take another chance to take a clearer photo for you guys 2 give me a more definate verdict..
