The pregnant guppy I just got a few days ago decided to drop her fry. It's is the first guppy fry I've dealt with. I captured about 12 fry and put them in my 10g nursery. I scooped the momma into a small breeder which I have hanging in the 20g community tank. Will she do ok in the breeder or...

Ok here they are at 1 week. I see a little bit of growth but nothing major. I see more color change than anything. Almost all of them have some sort of black on them now. Just a few are still translucent. I've seen one that we've lost on the filter when I changed it the other day. So we still...

I have a few lfs to visit this week, hoping to find one interested in the panda fry. I'll seek info on this too :good:

I got a new male on Thrsday (sunburst) He's been fine the tank so far, but tonight I saw a little discoloration just behind his head. He's not acting unsual. And it does not look like ich. The best way I can describe it is like a film, grayish is color. It looks as if I could just wipe it off...

Yay for babies!!

Would a lfs do that for me?

No, I'm in North Carolina. Shame!

Lol you can have some panda fry. I've got plenty.

I haven't figured that out quite yet. Hopefully, one of my lfs will want them.

My main tank is a 20g with 5 platy, 3 guppies and 2 others I can't remember the names but are not live breeders. I have a nursery tank that is 10g and currently has 1 red wag platy (~4 weeks old), ~40 panda platy (4 days old) and 3 ghost shrimp. I also have small breeder tanks for birthing. I'm...

Ok here they are, as requested :-) And finally a video where you can see them swimming and view their coloring much better. We have 3 ghost shrimp that we just added in there, and the fry are very curious. :-) Ok and the larger fry you see in the video is a red wag we discovered about two...

Do fry tend to take after mom or dad or a variety? I'm new to the whole fry thing, sorry. My panda platy gave birth 3 days ago and already I'm seeing some definite markings on a few of the fry to indicate they'll look like mom. Seems to me that this may be a little soon to determine color, but I...

I honestly don't know who the daddy is. The only male in my tank for the last month or so is a red guppy. I did have a long fin platy in there before, but I think it's been too long for him to be the father. It'll be interesting to see how they turn out. I can already see some black on the tails...

Only have a few pics of the fry... But I did get a few videos of the births!! Video1 Video 2 Video 3 Video 4 Fry in the rocks Hiding fry

We're up to 23 verified fry. I'm sooooo excited!!

How do I know when she's done? I think I still see some eyes in her belly. But she will eat now which she wouldn't do earlier. And she's still pacing the tank every now and then. I'm guessing she has more in there, butjustwondering how to know she's for sure done? And when should I move her back...

She's giving birth right now. She'd already had 3 (that I could count) before I saw the birth of the 4th. Watching and waiting now!

Well I took her out of the breeder tank, so she now has free roam of a 10g all to herself. Still no babies. One if my other pregnant platies was showing signs today of dropping soon. (aggression, out-of-character hiding spots and a more boxy shape compared to her usual rotund belly) I was...

See I thought she was a platy, but I got her out of the Molly tank never asked to clarify. Thanks for the quick feedback. I figure I will learn each of their personalities and will be better able to determine when they'll drop with each preganncy. (I have 3 other pregnant platies) She is in the...

Hello all! I have some questions about a pregnant Molly. I apologize in advance because I'm sure some of my questions will those that are answered over and over again. This is the first time I've had livebearers, so it's a completely new experience. I have setup a "fish nursery" in a 10gal tank...
