Most egg laying fish i can think of need to be separated from their eggs after they have layed and fertilised them to prevent them from eating them, personally i wouldn't buy anymore fish until you have raised your current fry and found them suitabe homes, at least that will then free up your fry tank.

at least that will then free up your fry tank.

thats the great thing am off to buy another fry tank the weekend B)

The other reason why i think you should finish off raising your livebearer fry is because egg laying fish fry dont tend to be so hardy in general, if you can raise livebearer fry succesfully at least you know you have the ability and probably enough experience to raise egg layer fish fry. To be honest though i dont see much point in breeding any random fish for the sake of breeding it- do you know if your lfs can take your livebearer fry off your hands when they are big enough yet ?

Hi smurfy

Corydoras catfish are a good choice to begin with. Their eggs and fry are not quite as small as some and this is a big advantage to a beginner.

I would particularly recommend bronze or albino C. aeneus.
