I turned the 2 month old fry out into a small pond and put the 32 younger fry into a grow out tank. I'm hoping to keep the older fry in the pond until they can start reproducing. Does anyone know at what age mosquito fish start reproducing? Everything online says that it deals with the seasons...

Haha umm I know this is a fairly fatal parasite, but I really haven't seen any symptoms other than the actual worms. Like no weight loss or anything until the very last stages where you would have already noticed the worms. I'll try to take a pic of the worms for you! And so I've been giving...

Okay here are some of the new babies: And here is a baby from last month: I thought I would be able to put all the fry together, but the one month old fish ate a baby that I put in there, so idk what to do about that

Thanks!! And lol she had like 5 more after the last photo so 32 in total! And no, she had one batch and then I had to quarantine her because she was so aggressive, and then it noticed she looked pregnant again and I was right!

No I don't have levamisole, I don't think it's allowed in the US. And the symptoms are little red worms sticking out of the fish's butt, that would be the most noticeable symptom.

She just had eight more, does it look like she has more?

Hello again, So after this post, I COMPLETELY restarted my tank, I got rid of the fish, all the gravel, all the water, new filter, got rid of the decorations, etc. I also scrubbed the walls of the tank and then dumped boiling water into the tank and cycled the tank again. So when the tank was...

Okay thanks! She just had a bunch of fry an hour ago, does anyone know how long they can be in labor? She still has a bit of a gravid spot so idk if she'll have any more!

Hey! I've been watching my mosquito fish and she's been getting a lot bigger. I think she's about to drop, but does she look boxed off? Thanks! She's been looking like this for 2 days, when do you think she should drop? I really want to see the fry being born! Thanks soo much!!

It looks like 2 females one male, beautiful females btw!

So I had my first fry!! It was from a mosquito fish. But I didn't expect soo many fry, there are like 30 already and the mom is still huge! So I have 2 ten gallon tanks and the breeding one is packed with plants and has all the newborn fry swimming in it now. However, I want to put my pregnant...

Thanks SOOO much! Actually right when you wrote this she had her first fry! There are soo many and she is still huge! This is my first batch of fry yet, I know how to care for them but right now I have 2 ten gallon tanks, one is specifically for breeding and it is packed with plants and decor do...

I got a 10 gallon, cycled tank a week ago. It's had one tiny little fish in it and this morning it had like 10 of these thick, white worms. I've seen the common thin, clear worms that come out when there is too much waste, but these worms are different. They stick to the glass and can move very...

Wow that is so strange! Is it still alive?

Thanks! And does she look pregnant? I heard these fish can stay pregnant for awhile?

Oh I thought you had like pregnant females! Then yeah that's perfect!

Just add some plants in your tank for the fry to hide to keep the parents from eating them for population control. Java moss would be a perfect plant! It's really pretty and is an awesome hiding spot

Also, does my fish look pregnant? She has a HUGE gravid spot but I'm not sure if all mosquito fish have it. And does any one know anything about their breeding?

Thanks much! Can they breed with guppies?

Hey, I found this fish at my lfs in with the feeder goldfish. I thought it was a feeder guppy. Then I noticed that there were no guppies at the store so I thought that was odd. Could it be a minnow or another breed? It's quite large compared to my other guppies. And it tends to swim quickly near...

Yeah I put some snails in my tank and I started getting those EVERYWHERE! It got annoying but I'm sure it's nutritious for your fish!

Beautiful fish! I really want to get into betta breeding too but I can't find anything besides veiltail Bettas! But you should be fine, I read that a 3 gallon is okay for a betta so a 5 gallon should be fine.

I just looked thoroughly and there weren't any! Any other suggestions? This is so annoying?

Okay so she seems to like the breeders box! (Its like a half gallon thing loaded with plants) But I don't see fry, and she's actually looking smaller than she was before I put her In! What do you think is happening?

Okay thanks so much guys! Does this look okay? It also has a bubbler in it And there are little holes underneath were the mom is!
