Hi all

Ok so I'm new to the livebearer scene, so wondered of anyone could take a look at my endler's and see if they're about due please?

Thank you!

Sorry I know the pictures aren't great!

Yes they look pregnant, congrats!

Oh excellent!

I don't suppose there is anyway to hazard a guess as to how far gone?

Also, what is the general consensus on breeding boxes (they're in a community tank)

Well, maybe two weeks in. So they will have around another two weeks left. I use breeder boxes , but they can stress the fish if put in too early and that can cause them to abort. You ideally want to put them in after they've dropped the first baby, or 1 day before birth is expected. You could let them give birth in the tank and net the remaining Frey?
