Male Touching And Swimming Underneath Female

Oh i get it, sorry i dont watch the show

Well you missed out. It's brilliant.

how should i feed the fry can you explain a little bit about the food also as i will probably have no idea what it is, although i think i saw fry food for livebearing fish...hmmm??

By and large halfbeak fry show no interest in liquid fry food, so skip that. Sometimes they take powdered flake foods though. I had good luck with Hikari First Bites. Frozen lobster eggs (from a marine aquarium supplier) are also taken, but you need to use a pipette to squirt a few eggs at a time towards each fish. Once the eggs sink, they're ingnored! But what you really need is live food of some type. Pond foods work well, such as small daphnia and very small mosquito larvae. Newly hatched brine shrimps and microworms would probably work well, too. You only need to fuss like this for the first few days. Within a week they're taking regular live daphnia, and soon afterwards frozen bloodworms as well. Do look over my halfbeak breeding diary if you haven't seen it already.

Cheers, Neale
