arcanine Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yay :happy1: Just keep an eye open the whole time and catch the others before they become snacks lol thats what i did, caught a glimps of one and grabbed my net and started bouncing round till my partner took the lid off the tank (to heavy for me) then sat there trying to find it again for 20 mins, they are very hard to see!

burrowssj Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 hmmmm i also had this trouble time an time again she would pop randomly before boxing up, so oneday when she was about to pop I put her in a guppy trap, BIG MISTAKE she freaked out while I was away an then still birthed about 40 babies then died :tears: it was very sad an disappointing. my advice if you "care" for this fish when shes preg split her off into a small heavily planted tank... thats your best bet BUT this is of course IMO... I will say I had this guppy for about 8months before I decided to put her in a trap, she had offspring in the past but only 2-3 survived per batch an the last few I had were eaten by kribensis an then the last last few were in a tank lost by the earth quake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
