fry

HI everyone.   I am quite new to fishkeeping but have managed to keep all but one of my first fish alive since January!! I accepted some free fish from a friend. I had 7 small molly fry. I hadnt read much about them at that point. A week ago I was able to notice that two of the larger ones are...

I am trying to type this as fast as possible so it will be really short and to the point.   I bred guppies about a month ago, I only got 12 because that was how much was left when I got home. I guess the others were eaten.    I put them in a 10 gallon growout heated and sponge filtered, they are...

Hi all, I was at a new LFS today just browsing around and maybe buy some plants and they had a massive tank with a bunch of "small goldfish" as they were labeled. I bought some plants and decided to buy these "small goldfish" Because they were $2 each... and there were HUNDREDS. I also saw in...

Hey everyone! I just thought I'd create a log to show the breeding of mollies and the community interactions in my 20 gallon aquarium.  I recently added 6 silver mollies to the bunch so now the tank is stocked as follows:  1 male skirt tetra, 1 female skirt tetra, 1 bleeding heart tetra, 3...

Hello   My two guppy females gave birth recently, the oldest had nearly 30 healthy guppy; a week later the second, a younger girl, had only a few, but I could only rescue two from the main tank since she was too fast to have her changed to a birthing tank.   For now, all the fry is living in a...

Current Project   Two Yellow tailed Dragon Head male guppies. Two Medium fancy female guppies.   Two Yellow tailed king cobra male guppies One large blue tailed female One stain glass female.   All of these are inside of a divided 20 gallon tank.   Fry Tank   Another 20 gallonish fish tank with...

I've just started to get back into breeding guppies over the past year and I want to know as to what age female guppies can start breeding?   She would be a few months old and has already started to gain her Gravid spot. Still a little on the small side, considering her "mother" was a large...

I had a feeling there was going to be some breeding going on since the male was acting pretty aggressive and moving the gravel around. Really was not expecting it so soon! I have 8 fry already from about a month ago in a breeder in the same tank and growing dad by day. I can't tell how many...

I'm planing to buy a separate tank for my guppies to lay fry in, but for now, I have one of those breeder boxes with the V shaped thing for the fry to fall through. I already looked up when to put them in the breeder box but the only answers Iv'e found where to buy these plants for the guppy fry...

I bought brine shrimp eggs on Ebay to feed my guppy fry but I want to keep some until adulthood so I can get eggs from them how do you breed Brine shrimp I've searched literally everywhere to find out how but I can only find videos of how to hatch eggs not breed adults

I have a 55 gallon tank with guppies, blood eyed tetras, danios, 2 yo-yo loaches, a school of neons, and one red wag platy. I was wondering what else I can feed my fish besides tetra color tropical flakes? I want a nice and health tank. Also, what can I feed guppy fry? As a future reference...

So I've had this guppy for exactly 31 days now and she has the boxed out look and today I noticed that below her u think her birth canal is starting to open up a little bit or something but it's like a little pink dot right now and I was wondering when she's going to drop her babies if it's...

One of the black mollies my LFS sold me was pregnant. I have no interest in keeping or raising fry and would like advice on what to do. The pregnant fish is also bullying every other fish in the tank, chasing them all over the place (no actual injury done yet, though sometimes it looks like...

I want to breed my two halfmoon Betta's. I have done all the bloodlines of both my female and male, I think the offspring would be quite good. I have asked the local pet store if they would like some Betta fish, they agreed.   Question is that, can I keep the male offspring together? (Obviously...

So I've been monitoring my fry lately, and I'm unable to do frequent water changes since only my father is able to set up the siphon (I've tried, I'm not strong enough). So I've kinda been watching them grow, and up until now they were still kinda puny.   24 hours ago, I added some water into...

Okay so here's the deal, my swordtail gave birth to like 10 fry yesterday morning, I had put her in the breeder box around 4am and I had taken the top off of the box and she jumped out around 6am and was swimming around normally and didn't seem like she was gonna drop the fry anytime soon, but...

So I thought I would keep you guys posted since the last posting rampage where I spammed updates (sorry, :P). Anyway, since then the fish got a 60% water change and I've really seen some growth but not sure if they've passed the effects of early stunting... I'm doing another water change...

So I was originally keeping updates about the swordtail fry I have in the emergency section following the death of one of my swordtail adults, but since they're well over a month old now I figured I would move it to its own proper thread. Here's some footage (they're currently 41 days old, I...

Just uploaded my first video to YouTube with the help of my "gravel cleaning" nephew. It shows the Journey of the Fry, of the Peacock Gudgeon (Goby). I look forward to hearing what you liked/did not like about the video so that we can improve on future versions. Hope you enjoy...

Ok, platy just gave birth in community tank. I saw 3 fry - could be more that I didn't see. Then the platy kinda put herself into one of the plants, shook a few times and stopped moving. That was an hour ago. Now she's floating nose down but upside down in one spot-not moving her fins or...
