Hi I'm New

[jolenenart]

Hi I'm new with this web site. So far I've got most of my information i needed hopefully i can get more help with more, because my platie is pregnant and i don't know what to do!
I have her in a breeding tank right now, but i don't think she likes it, but theres a fish that won't leave her side! I don't want to take her out and him eat the babies. I kinda want to see if they live or not, but last night she had some clear white thing that came out and i'm not sure what it was. If anyone has any information for me just reply back i would appreciate it!

Do you think i should take her out ? Do you think she is gonna have any babies?

how long have you had her in the box?i think maybe its best to let her out if she is stressed

I put her in it last night around 530. If i'm not looking at her she flips out and tries to get out of the breeder tank and when i go over to the tank she just sits there. Some one just told me to leave her in the tank till monday and see what happens then but i don't know this is my first time!

ok well thats totally up to yourself but personally i wouldn't use a breeder box its easier to just let her have them in the tank and then catch the fry and put them in the breeder box if you have a well planted tank they should be grand.

Thanks for you help, but i think i'm gonna leave her in the breeder tank b/c i have alot of fish in my 55 gallon tank and i know i won't beable to save them so time will tell i guess. Again thanks anyways
