Hi all! Just wanted to announce to you that my female pregnant swordtail FINALLY gave birth to a bunch of fry! I estimate 20. She gave birth naturally in my 90 litre aquarium while i was asleep, woke up this morning, and found these little fry darting around the tank! Since there are danios and other bigger fish in there, I netted as many as I could out of the tank and into my breeding box.

I ended up with 5 swordtail fry, and they are SSSOOO cute! Very active and healthy, and just hope the best for them! of course the breeder box is temporary for a month or so, then will be moved into a 5 gallon tank. Then given away or bred. Here are some pics of the fry! What do you think???

90 L tank is too small for swordtails, they get quite big and they need a 30 gallon, minimum of 29 gallons. What are the dimensions? It all depends on dimensions of the tank.
Anyway, congratulations on your fry!! -_-:shout:
