I was looking around my tank today and noticed a small baby swimming around. At first i had to do a double take and then saw another and then another. I only found 3 total that i was aboe to save. I have them in a breeder net in the tank.
This is the first time i have ever had a fish have fry in a tank. Suprising thing is i dont even know how, as the male sword died 4 months ago and i didnt think my female could get pregnant? Unless someone another fish crossbred with it?
Anyways... Is it possible that the fish is not done having babies? I only found 3 and that doesnt aeem like many. I know the other could have gotten eaten but these seem kind of big to be freshly had. They also look nothing like anything else. Half body is black other half is orangish.
Isnthere anything special to feed them? I was taking flake food and grinding it up into a fine powder.
Any other ways to keep them? Tank temps. Etc...
