Yeah, my yellow wags also have the sheen. But it's so little that you can almost see the certain scales it is on, like little dots. As far the Mickey Mouse pattern, that also formed later. They didn't have that at birth or a young age. Hope your fish are growing and doing well! My drop of blues...

So my female dropped! Since I'm not certain an the lineage in which these fish came from, i can't be certain that they are from my sailfin male. Either way, they are from the sailfin female and some sailfin male! And they're cute!

Here are the parents to the fry. The blue Mickey Mouse is the mother and the tiny red wag was the father. Sorry about the water, I had put a piece of drift wood in that had cured yet... Beginner mistake.

Here are the pictures. The stripes used to be more visible. And as you can see as they get older the stripes fade more and more as the blue become more visible. Sorry about the quality. I've also attached some of my yellow fry and one other light orange fry that came from that drop.

Ironically, I had a drop that was full of babies colored like the "colorless with the stripe", except my fry had multiple stripes. Any where from two stripes, all the way up to five stripes per side! In the same drop, out of about 25 fry, I had three that were pale yellow with black fins and...

I was wanting a little more information about a standard Bluegill. He, or she, was wild caught and I have bad "it" for about a year since it was half dollar sized. Any information on breeding would be amazing. Such as, but not limited to: breeding age, sexing, breeding techniques, etc.. Thanks!

Congrats!

I love my live bearers! :) I have a separate tank for my female that's dropping. When my females get close to their due dates, I move them to a planted 10 gallon. Then after she is done dropping, I move her to my recovery tank. Which is another planted 10 gallon. After about a week I move her...

Thank you all! I'm planning on starting my breeding strain from this pair, plus my other cream lyretail females. :)

Now I'm super excited. I'm hoping for babies!

Just picked these guys up earlier. :)

Thanks so much. I already knew about my snails. ;) in the last picture though, what is the blooming stalk like thing growing from the center of the plant.

I was wondering if you could identify each of the plants shown in the photos. I'm assuming the are amazon swords but I was wondering if there are different species as they are a little different. Also, one appears to be blooming. (Last photo attached) is that normal of this type of plant?

The silver Molly appears to be very pregnant. It could also be water parameters, or, like was said above stress. Molly fish are known to abort pregnancies all the way up to full term if under stress.

Mollies are peaceful in the sense that they really don't do damage to one another. But, that being said, they are territorial fish. They establish a "pecking order", it just seems that your one male is wanting dominance over the second male. They fish in the last two pictures do appear to be...

No problem! Good luck!

The first photo is a harlequin and the second is a Dalmatian.

I have also had a lot of fry that are born with minimal black and with age turn almost completely black. I think this is more common with the harlequin genes, rather than Dalmatian. In my experience a Dalmatian Molly has very small spots sometimes only one scale at a time with be black. Also...

It is acceptable for fry to live with shrimp. As long as the fry are living, the shrimp shouldn't bother them. :)

I'm hoping I can use it to even run just my lights. That would be awesome! The only thing that would be using electricity to power the wheel would be my rerun pump. Also, if you find your blue prints, I would love to see what your ideas were.

Has anyone tried or had thoughts of using hydroelectricity to power their fish room? I'm thinking about making a water wheel that will turn using the draining water from my fish tanks to turn an alternator which will store electric in old car batteries, which will in turn power my lights...

Here's a better picture of the growth I was referring to.
