fry

About 2 weeks ago 2 of my female guppies gave birth.  I only have young guppies and they are finally at breeding age!  Today right before cleaning the tank and replacing evaporated water I saw some weird movement.  Then I saw a guppy fry! After cleaning I saw another one! So it is possible to...

hello everybody, ive just bought some pundamilia fry which i am going to feed them cichlid veggie flakes that i give to my yellow labs. i was wondering though if i could also feed them high protein fish food? i know i cant give it to my labs as they would probably get bloat but i have always fed...

Okay, so I recently bred my betta fish, there is at LEAST 50 fry hanging down from the nest, but my guess is about 100.. anyways, I didn't really think they would end up spawning, so I was unprepared and didn't prepare cultures... I will be buying frozen food most likely today or tomorrow...

I keep feeder guppies in one of my tanks, which has worked out wonderfully.  I decided it would be fun to do a little genetics experiment and mix my feeder guppies with inexpensive but fancier guppies in my 10gallon snail tank.  So, I moved over a few females and gave them 3 colorful males to...

I recently put up a post to ask if anyone knew if my female sp 44 was holding fry, nobody replied so I thought I would take a chance and strip her, to my surprise out popped 5 healthy looking fry I know it's only a small batch but i'm still chuffed to bits about it   here's some pics (You can...

Hi so I got 2 glass catfish and i think one is pregnant as she has a big belly on her and she is always hiding in a dark corner next to the filter but I want to know what I should do if she is pregnant. I can get pictures if u need me to. But she is defiantly bigger than the other one and she...

Hey guys! Just out of curiosity and some fun I was wondering which livebearing fish you like the most! I personally really like the surprise of guppy tail colors, but love the overall look of platy fish. Post your comments below.

So i bought a female guppy one day ago and i was just watching my fish when a fry popped out. Unfortunately one of my neon got to it, however i don't have a hatchery and i cant sit and watch all the fish get eaten. Any help would be appreciated on how to make a make shift hatchery until tomorrow...

Today I bought a baby betta from petco. I'm thinking it's a boy but I's not for sure. Also if anyone can take a stab at what kind of betta it is that would be great. (I haven't named it yet because I'm iffy on it's gender :/ )    

You guys might not know this but I work for a major pet store in the UK (Pets at home), although I have learnt a lot about fish in my 5 months of working there I would still consider myself somewhat of a novice when it comes to fish keeping, this is why i'm constantly asking you guys for advice...

So before everyone tries to say "You must have a Balloon Platy" I have zero balloon platys.    Anyway, around a month ago, going on 2 months, I got a female platy. she must have been newly pregnant because it wasnt long after i purchased her, that her belly began to get rounder and rounder. Well...

So I believe I have the beginnings of an ich outbreak in my tank, nothing seems to be terrible and all the fish seem to be happy, but I would like to treat the ich if it truly is starting to develop in my tank, so there wont be any major outbreaks.    The only problem is that I have 5 platy fry...

Hey my Mickey Mouse Platy is just giving birth and I was totally unprepared for it!! I have her in a 125L tank with 3 other fish. Just tested water on Saturday and all perfect :)  What do I need to do to keep fry alive - they are currently being devoured as soon as they are born poor little...

So I posted earlier about my pregnant platy, well.. I decided to do a major water change tonight to prepare for the new little ones. As I was removing plants from the tank, what I thought was waste, started moving!! It was fry! I ended up scooping out 5 into the breeder box I have but I didnt...

So I've had my platies around 3-4 weeks now. I believe one of my females was newly pregnant when I purchased her. She is very round now and her stomach is starting to get "boxy" like everyone has said before they give birth. Her stomach has looked like this going on 2 weeks now. She has been...

It has been awhile since I have kept platys and I was wondering if you all could boost my memory.    One of my females is  VERY pregnant, it seems that the bottom of her stomach is "flat-round" and her anal vent is swollen i believe. she is still very active.   Could it be time for her to give...

Hi So it has been quite a long time since I have kept fish, recently I got 6 platies for my tank. I wasnt trying to breed them so I chose them randomly, sure enough I ended up with 3 males and 3 females (one of which could be a late developing male, i cant really tell, but we will just stick...

I have 7 platy/swordtail fry that are 12 weeks (3 months) old and they aren't showing any sign of gender. When should I be able to determine the sex? Thanks a ton
