Aquarium Advice Freak
Yeah!! finally!! This morning when i went to feed the fishes I noticed that someone had babies during the night.
The thing is I am not sure who they belong to? I had two pregnant fish. One was a Molly and the other was a Guppy.
There were about 12 or more babies swimming around the tank. I don't think they belonged to the guppy, because she is quite small and 12 or more of fish about 1/16" - 1/8" ?!?!? couldn't have come out of her.... well, at least I don't think they could of
I think they might be the mollies babies. She still looks fat though. Well, i guess that isn't saying much because after I birthed my kids I still looked pregnant too LOL
So, what do I do now? Any advice to keep them alive.
I thought that maybe the Zebra Danios were gonna eat them, but I watched them for a while and those little babies are fast and are actually able to out swim them.
The funny thing is, I have a tank divider set up to block off a portion of the tank that I was gonna put mama in to have her babies. I guess she beat me to it. Anyway, the babies were born on the community side of the tank and the funny thing is they were mostly all over on the divided part.
How they got over there??? I have no idea. I think maybe they are small enough to fit through the sides of the divider. The sides that meet up to the glass don't fit real flush, so I am thinking thats how they are able to get back and forth.
Should I bother trying to keep them separate? or just take down the tank divider? Obviously they will soon be to big to swim through the sides. Does anyone know their growth rate?
Gosh!! So many questions!!!!
well, tanks for taking the time to read my novel here... I am just so exited!! I had never seen little baby fishies before
