Aquarium Advice Freak
Well, I've counted 14 yellow guppy fry. I found more. I don't know how many and I don't know who had them. LOL. These are darker. Wednesday night by Swordtail gave birth to 70-80 fry. I can't count. There were 2 with no tails that passed. I watched 2 get sucked right out the side slits of the breeding box by another fish and he ate them right in front of me. I was frantic. Moved them right away. I have 1 that has no eyes and he's still ticking. Poor little fellow. The other ones are biting him sometimes. I assume he won't make it long unless he grows eyes, which I doubt would happen before something picked him off. The rest are healthy so far and swimming around.
Only now I have so many fry I don't know what to do. I still have 7 little black/blue guppies, the juvie lyretail dalmation mollies (most of which I already brought to the LFS along with some black ones still about 6 in the tank), 3 red/yellow guppies, 14 yellow guppies, maybe 20 or so new guppies, 27 cobra guppies (the other half I believe may have been eaten when the tank went down, there may be a few stragglers), 1 baby swordtail from last time (he's still so small, smaller than my few week old guppies), and now 70-80 new swordtails. Oh, and the surprise of more black molly guppies - I've counted about 8. Seems I need another tank or to get them to the LFS as soon as they are big enough. This is craziness!
Fun to see everyone's little fry on here! I enjoy looking at your pics of them.
