I just went to look into my tank and I saw 2 baby fish... wtf I didnt know they would mate in captivity. I noticed one of the sword tail females had a huuuge stomach, but I didnt think much of it. I got 2 new sword tails now, they're like 5cm . Oh and the water just turned cloudy again after I did a partial water change. I also think I may have overfed. Should I do anything about it?

 

guppies are one of the most prolific breeders in aquaria.

 

pictures of babies pls

 

I keep hoping my flowerhorn & convict will spawn. They make all the motions, dig the pit, dance, etc....but no babies yet....maybe the plecos are eating them.

 

if you want those babies to live you better section them off from the rest of the tank.

 

I have non agressive fish, I don't think there will be a problem, and the babies spend most of their time hiding around stuff anyway. I'll try to get pics up, they're so small they might not show up in the pic

 

i feed my fish other animals smaller fish, insects, worms. :yumyum:

 

damnit when I woke up one of the babies was gone :wtc: ... He's eiter hiding really well or he's history. So I went and got the separator tank, and now one of the babies is safe :hs:

 

keep an eye out for that baby

 

found the other baby too, he was hiding under ornament... So I put them into the separator tank. Anyone know how long before they are big enough to be released?
