Darn. There's this gorgeous girl at the fish store, but she has two boys in her tank. She's so pretty...but babies!
 
Her tail looks like someone splashed ink on a sunset.
 
no (unless you wait a few months)and scoop fry out and raise in another tank)
I don't have another tank, unfortunately. Well...I have a small, octagonal tank that's probably more like 5 gallons. But i don't even know if it would work. It's been empty for years.

Your LFS may be willing to take the babies!

I know they'd be mutts, I don't mind.
What do you mean wait six months?

mutts are very beautiful some of them are so weird
after around 6 months all fry are adults
but put themin the 5gallon they will impregnate each other
 
Okay lol. But how would I go about setting it up? I've had my current 13 gallon tank for AGES. I got it when I was like 8. I don't remember what we had to do to set it up.

Eeek. If I did raise them, I would probably take them back/sell them once I could tell genders. Maybe keep a baby girl or two.
