Phillz Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 :oops: Here is the story, I went to pickup a few bristlenose from a lady in Auckland on Thursday......came home with 17 of the little blitters and 9 tiny platties.....as well as 4 guppies. She said they needed homes and I couldn't turn them down :roll: . Well once the B/n get larger the LFS will buy them off me, so thats OK. Didn't expect to have any plattys......so don't know exactly what to do with those. Now to the guppies, 1 male and 3 females.....1 of the girls was very large & I suspected she may be pregnant. They were in my tank on Friday, noticed Saturday that there are about 12 or so little baby fish swimming among the Java moss. So I am wondering if they are guppy babies, or if my WCMM have had a batch. I guess the experienced people here would know by sight, but I am just guessing on the guppies. Wish I could take a pic that would show anything :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 what size, colour, and how active are they? Shae 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillz Posted November 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Darn things won't stay still for my tape measure, but guessing around 1cm. Clear in colour with black eyes. They stay near the top of the water in the Java moss, their tales sort of shimmer, and they will flit off and hide if a bigger fish comes by.

Caryl Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Probably guppies. WCMM fry are very very small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
