Hi guys its me again. a few days ago i noticed one of my females was growing a belly but yesterday i saw her like she used to be and i didn t find babies. Did they eat them? was she at least pregnant? She looks good, shes really active when she had her belly, she use to swim alone and slw now she plays ith the other ones. Is there something wrong with her?
 
What other fish are in the tank? She probably did have her babies, and either they were eaten, or the filter got them. They are pretty small, and depending on how big your tank is and what color mom was, they could be very hard to see. At first they tend to stay right at the surface and move down into the water column a few days later. But any fish in your tank bigger than neons will likely go after them like they are popcorn....
