suemack Posted December 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 update on the babies - I generally leave the fry in a 5 gall tank with the parents (end up with 20 - 40 fish for the lfs which is more than enough for my tanks) - but this time.....both parents are very young - yesturday ended up moving firstly the male (relentlessly pursuing the female) then later in the day taking the female out as she was sampling a few to many of the fry :evil: There must be something in the water cos this morning Blossum and Billy - the albino cories - were up and down the glass and tonight have a lovely batch of eggs plastered all over the tank :roll: a few look to be infertile but I'll be in trouble if they hatch in a little tank that is already home to a swarm of baby guppies :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 May be the weather having an effect too sue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 I think it must be the weather! The day before yesterday my bronze cories laid eggs, yesterday my jewels(Both females I think) laid eggs, and today my gold severums(Both males, I think) are busy cleaning off some rocks and digging a pit next them and shivering at each other. Of course, I accept alternate lifestyles, but why do all my fish have to be gay?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suemack Posted January 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 :lol: the kids are a month old and some have been moved into one of the bigger tanks as it was getting a little overcrowded in the 5 gall. They look like guppies now.........still small but getting colour, mostly sexable and they certainly behave like miniature adults sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Thanks Sue, I actually bought some about 2 weeks ago for fry cover. Had no idea what it was but it worked. Cheers Robbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suemack Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 :lol: cool - how many babies have you got robbo? water sprite has got to be one of my 2 fav plants.........java fern being the other. They are the only plants I haven't managed to kill - I'm afraid I have a bit of a brown thumb when it comes to plants whether they be in the garden or the aquarium would love to see some pics of your guppies sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Hi Suemack, 16 guppy fry and 4 Platys. 2 Blue and 2 Orange. About 5 or 6 guppy fry have died over the last few weeks but noticed their tails never developed? Sorry don't have a digicam.
