Danio's are well known for jumping and I have heard of them getting in breeder boxes before. Your lucky you didn't loose them all or it died from over feeding.

My mom used to keep separate tanks for breeding mollies, baby mollies and pregnant mollies. Once the male and female bred, my mom would take the net and put the female into the pregnant tank. One of the mollies wouldn't give birth so she decided to move her but she didn't have a net with her so she quickly used her hands to scoop the molly out and, guess what happened? She have birth to more than fifty babies in my mom's hands! It was an exciting day for my ten year old mother, and the mother of the mollies and fry both survived.

I don't know yet. I might give some away for free locally since pet stores will probably pay only 20 to 35 cents per fish and I have no time to pack fish to sell on aquabid.

One more swordtail gave birth today so I now have close to 150 fry all born within the past 7 days. Fortunately I still have 300 gallons worth of empty aquariums, but even 300 gallons will not be enough to hold 150 swordtails.

My wife gave me free reign over the basement so I might setup two or more 300 gallon ponds in the basement. Larger tanks mean less maintenance.

My mom sent me some pictures of my dad's platy fry. There are three newborn ones, but I only have pictures of two. There is also a one-month-old, a two-month-old, and a three-month-old. (6 fry in all)

One pic of a newborn with the dad:



One pic of a newborn blending in with the leaf (it is in the middle of the picture)



And last pic is of the one that is three months old:

Whens the best time to let my guppy fry into the tank? They are probably 2cm already, i have juvenile angel fish, 2 silver sharks, male guppies and platy in the tank already?! Advice please

Let the fry in when they are bigger than any mouth, that's the simplest answer. Probably a bit bigger since you have some fish that would love live food.

Watch my fry grow from day 1 to day 18 (and counting)!
These are albino koi swordtails and albino mollies.

Just a warning to the novices: Do NOT raise your fish in regular containers of this small size. My setup works only because there is good water flow between the main aquarium and the small containment units. My containers have tiny slits that allow good circulation. There is also strong turbulence because my power filter output is directed between the two containers. The turbulence is high enough that the fry poop does not accumulate in the container and is flushed out to the main tank within seconds. The containers are basically maintenance-free.
