My Fry Tank, 10g

[Mamaschild]

I was just looking into the rules for FOTM (got my first nomination ) and TOTM and it says your looking for a few more nominations for Small TOTM. I don't know if anyone will nominate mine, but this is 1 of only 2 tanks I have under 15g.

This is my fry tank, which has ~100 livebearer fry that are slowly being transfered in with the parents. It's 10g, using a Whisper 10 (I think? ) ). Live Java Ferns, Java Moss, and Hornwort. Need to know anything else

Beautiful fry tank! I love all the plants and they make it more colorful. What kind of fry do you have? I have molly and guppy fry, but I only have them in a net breeder. How are you able to raise so many? I'd never had one baby go into my larger tank because they always died before they were big enough. Your babies should be very happy to grow up in that tank.

Thanks guys

Sasha, the only reason I have so many fry is because I have a White Mickey mouse Platy the released over 50, twice, only 24 days apart, and I trapped her both times Then add ~18 Green Swordtails, 9 Wag Platys, and ~35 Orange Swordtails. So in 5 releases, over about a month and a half......~150 fry.

They really add up

What are you going to do with all of them when they become "Teenagers?"\

Luckily I have 4 or 5 good LFS's close enough that will buy them for store credit. If I didn't, I would never trap my females I don't do it very often, anyway, but occassionally I just have to watch babies grow up.....it's the farm raised Mommy in me
