Pregnant Endlers Dying

[rosiepaul]

hello

I have had two pregnant endlers who have both died before giving birth the last of which seemed to die actually giving birth all my other fish are healthy and well. Is this common for the females to die? I have a third female who I assume is pregnant due to the dark patch she has although her stomach isn't very big yet? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

It isn't uncommon for young livebearers to have problems giving birth, best you can do is persevere and keep trying.

Thanks hopefully I'll have better luck with my remaining endler.

I have never seen a loss of endlers during a drop of fry. Can you describe for us the circumstances in which you are experiencing these fry deaths. My own tanks run contrary to your experiences .
