kellsz Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Depending how small the baby is u mite want to separate it from the mother... Otherwise she'll think you may have put in a tasty LIVE dinner for her as they dont care about eating their own kind. yes you prolly are correct, live bearers usually let their young go in one drop.

sumo_si Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 well...when i came home form school...it was still swimming around...so i moved the mum back into the community tank... ive put a few crushed flakes in..but it doesnt seem to notice them...the baby is onyl abuot .5 - 1cm...hard to get a good estimate sumo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suemack Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 congratulations sumo.....might have to crush the flakes into a very fine powder for the fry to be able to eat it ......and they have a VERY tiny tummy size so for one fry wouldn't need much food. good luck with your new baby sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
