I was always against the breeding traps till I used it this last time my girls gave birth. Everyone says it could stress them out but honestly they seemed much more relaxed in the trap. i agree with soon. Based on my past experience. If you think you have a couple days, move them now because...

I can't figure out how to, if possible, to post a video so here is a link: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v203/skyshadowkitty/?action=view&current=babybirth.mp4 It is my Tiger/Mickey Mouse Platy giving birth to 2 of her babies. She jumped out of the breeder trap and ate an unknown number...

I have kept my Betta with several different species of cories as well as temporarily with several tropical live bearers. Some Bettas love tank mates while some would rather kill anything than look at it. All based on temperament.

I could not get a good picture but here is a video that shows a good view. I have moved her into a 2 gallon bowl with java moss that I use for females when they give birth. I've only ever had gravid Mollies. It looks about right but I wanted to make sure...
