Hi there, I have a pair of endlers which I eventually added to my main tank.
Like clock work every month we have fry, I do if I can try and save them and transfer them to my little tank.
The last birth I only managed to save one, the rest were eaten, I only noticed 3 days ago that there Is one sole survivor in the tank.
She gave birth 2 weeks ago, and I wouldn say the tank has many hiding places, And none the bigger fish cant get to. Surly its a miracle to be alive. Either that or its been born with a horse shoe up its #17#####. :D
Any one had a similar experience.
 
I hoover my tank out once every two months, and about three months ago id done my usual then i noticed something very small just picking at the gravel. So i netted it and it tured out to be a baby molly. The problem is that its completly black and my mollys are yellow so wasnt expecting it. How the hell it didnt go up the syphon i do not no. Very lucky fry i guess. But its very healthy now and settled in fine.
 
i have a 300L African Cichlid tank, and one day I was feeding them and i saw a small bit of movement and saw that it was a baby peacock cichlid now he is about 1cm long and eating crush flake in a net breeder in the 300L tank.
 
I had no idea my peppered corys had bred until I was dismantling ny tank to move house. After netting all the fish I scooped all the pebbles into a carrier bag and drove an hour, set the tank up in the new house, tipped the pebbles in, and saw a young peppered cory flapping about in the middle of them, a good 1.5 inches long. I'd never seen it in the tank and how it survived in a bag of pebbles for over an hour I have no idea.

They all bred again earlier this year and again I had no idea til I was setting my new tank up and found 5 inch long babies.

They're really secretive breeders for some reason, never seen them lay eggs, unlike my Albinos who are at it like rabbits and laying eggs all over the glass every week, but none ever survive.
 
I remember the first time I found a platy baby in my tank. I was trying to get rid of snail so I took all the ornamants out and put them in boiling water to kill the snails. When i removed the castle, I noticed something small and orange swimming around. A little fishy!

We named him Mr. Big.
 
i took a krib fry from my main tank and put it into a discus grow out tank and thought it died. But 2 months later my friend was looking at my tank and said "hey when did you get a new krib" :lol: .
