After about a month sitting all alone in my 10g, one of my painted swords finally dropped her batch of fry! I figured it out when I was cleaning w/python and uh oh - that's not fish poop getting sucked up!!! Rescued 3 from the line but at least 2 made it into the toilet.
Got mama out a few hours later and covered the filter intake with a media bag and 1 day later I've counted at least 3 dozen fry. This mama is a cross between a rainbow/painted male and pineapple female and was born & raised in my tanks so this batch is 2nd generation. I'm excited to see what they look like!!!
I've sold or given away over 500 fry from the original mama, who is still alive but her eggs are all gone. Original Dad jumped a few months ago.
