One of my females was being chased relentlessly last night by the males so to give her a break I put her in the trap and woke up to her fry. I counted looks like there are at least 12, but one of them looks like it is attached to a deceased fry by the belly. It is swimming around perfectly healthy besides the dead fry about the same size attached to its belly. What should I do in this situation?
 
Siamese Fry are soo awesome, but don't last that long. :-( I've only had bad experiences with them I'm afraid, my dad had one in the shape of a Y (two heads, one tail) and it died pretty soon. Although I have heard stories of fish swimming around with dead counterparts. I'd just take whatever happens. I don't think there is much you can do.
 
The problem will take care of itself in a couple of days. Meanwhile, feed it just like the others.
 
Aw that's no good! I guess I shall let nature take its course with this little guy. Thank you for your input!
 
I had 2 fry who came out my female stuck together, they separated. 1 was eaten but I still have the other. They are now 6 weeks old, he is smaller than the rest but thriving :)
 
Oh cool I hope this little guy will make it then :) thanks guys!
 
He is still happily swimming around with his deceased sibling stuck to his belly. Doesn't seem to be inhibiting him at all and is eating like the rest of the fry. Hoping for the best for this little dude.
 
Good luck with that Miresiti. I have not had many survive very long after the weaker part died.
 
He's much smaller than the others but it seems they're separating I can't tell. All of the fish get to go on a trip back home because my year at college is done so I must move them from my dorm back to my room at home. Everything went fine with it 3 months ago when I had to do it for spring break so we shall see. The babies seem to fair better when separated into a small transport tank away from the giant plants and gravel that seem to make them disappear, hoping this little guy will make it we shall see.
