my stock has risen,

11 fancy guppy fry
17 platy fry

3 pregnant mollies,
1 pregnant swordtail,
6 pregnant guppy,
1 pregnant platy,
 
this is not a rich country so the tanks i have were miracles, every tank is expensive, i am going to be opening a petshop soon with fair prices and more, i am only 15, 16 this year

also i am investing in a 29 gallon
 
Yeah, but what kind exactly? The rule is 1 inch per fish( well, it works with livebearers most the time) and i know mollies get mroe than 1 inch, all mine are 2 inches and i have had a 4 and a half inch male. What kinda filtration?
 
i have been wanting to ask how long until i cna sex the guppy fry and platy fry

The gonopodium on the male will develop within 4-8 weeks (usually after 4 ish) this is when u can sex them and split them in to males and females :)

The female does not have this, she has a fin (the anal fin)

A 10g will not hold that many babies for more than 2 months or they will be stunted. When they get big enough not to be eaten, i would put them in the 29 your getting. And then sell them, as you really dont want to be adding any more fish to any of you tanks!
 
i am surely not getting anymore fish i am going to be breeding and selling and opening my own fish shop, i am investing in a fish shop until i am ready for a real petshop. also i have a quetsion i have a friend who has livebearers like me all of his adults suddenly died and now all he has is one pleco and 32 molly babies do you have any suggestions to why this is happening all of a sudden, he went away when he came back he was left with a few fish, then day by day they all died, he is the one who got me started with fish but i don't see the problem he says some white spots have magically appear then a few days later the fish dies.

sounds like whitespot? ich?
 
i've given up trying to photo my endlers etc, buggers keep swimming out of frame-the gouramis normally behave themselves though!
 
another photo, a little blurry though

one of my fish had babies yesterday and all of my fish stomach is still fat, i got the impression the my platy did it but her stomach is still fast also her gravid spot is still there, she is not eating all, from since that day
