[fubarmick]

again sorry for postin here, but my internet switches off if i try to post in other parts ov this forum

my swordtail just give birth again, but about the first 7/8 she had came out dead!!!
luckyly the 1's after that came out fine, and i think i got about 15/20 new little swordies!!!!
can any1 explain why the 1st 7/8 were dead? would it have something to do with the fact she first give birth ago only 4/5 weeks ago???

really confused why the first lot were dead!!!!!!

It just happens sometimes, maybe they were deformed, what did they look like.
R.I.P.

Wouldn't dwell on it.

would it be better to leave lite on overnite with my fry just been born, or will it be ok to turn off, midnite here now

I think you may as well turn the light off - they need to get used to lighting as well, but I'm not too sure

Turn the light off they will settle better.
Good luck.
