So its been little over two months now since adding stock to my tank. Finally have my first female holding eggs! So noticed her holding two days ago finally got a glimpse of the eggs today. So my question is how long do I have before I really need to get her out of tank into a breeding tank. How long about are they eggs and then about how long are they fry but not spit. Thinking about picking up a 20gal long this weekend for her and for the fry to get some size on them. Planning on keeping at least a handfull of the fry if all goes well this will be her first batch so I hear they sometimes have troubles. I had a 10 gal all set up and rdy and had used it a couple times for injuries, but last week the kids tank had a fry dropping convention and I now have 25+ fry in that tank (sunburst platties, black mollies, silver mollies) they all dropped back to back. First picture you can see her holding, 2nd is her hiding spot and the 3rd is the dad(big Ben).
