Thanks seems like I may be out of luck. I'll give them a couple more months before moving on from them and hopefully I get a late bloomer.

I have 8 Xiphophorus alvarezi juveniles that are about a year old and none of them have developed a gonopodium yet. I had a group of 1 male and 4 females that I unfortunately lost last year and these juveniles are all I have left. I know wild swordtails can take a while to sex out but how much...

Which species do you have there?

Think I jumped the gun and it was just a big chunk of ramshorn snail 😅 the fish are doing well but still no breeding. I started feeding them grindal worms but then was away for 3 weeks and got back recently. Still no babies or gravid looking females but hopefully consistent daily feedings of...

Tough to get good pictures here are 2 more angles. 30 minutes after I separated her in the net the growth seemingly retreated, with it just poking out of her gills instead of dangling. But I wasn't able to get a picture.

Went to go feed the fish this afternoon and was greeted with a horrifying sight in the space of 1-2 days this growth came out of nowhere on my original female. It's coming from her gill and is only on the right side. From what I've been able to find it's a tumour but any one have any input...

@emeraldking sorry to bring up a dead thread but I'm curious how big's the aquarium? I have Skiffia multipunctata, Nomorhamphus ebrardtii and Xiphophorus alvarezi and I love the idea of keeping them together. Do you know if Skiffia multipunctata could hybridize with Neotoca Bilineata?

would grindal worms work? I'd like to get a "1 size fits all" live food which would be appreciated by all my livebearers, from these to Xiphophorus Alvarezi. I also have vinegar eels and microworm cultures available to me but don't know if they'd be eaten by the bigger livebearers. I crushed up...

Thank you all for the help! should the superfetative and ovoviviparous specimens be treated any differently? I think they're ovoviviparous as I remember seeing 3-4 fry appear for the second spawn but may have been that they were dropped within 2-3 days. I've been feeding them northfin kelp...

Hello everyone, I purchased a trio of Xenophallus umbratilis last December and haven't had much success with them. They're in a 20 gal with 6 wabenmusters I'm growing out and I've only gotten 2 spawns from them, within a month of purchasing them. I had an original female jump not long after...
