Ok so I'm back again with yet another problem (thank you all for helping me)
Ok I'll break it down; I have a 5 gallon tank with a filter. When BK (my one adult female) had babies I had the fry in a fish bowl without a filter and I had the adult fish in the 5 gallon tank. I had BK (female), Munchie (male), Pebbles (female) and a 'sucker' fish (Shark). Everything was going great until all over a sudden over one weekend I love BK, Munchie and Shark. Shark turned out to have fin rot but I don't know what happened to the others. So I only had Pebbles and the babies left.
So I decided to move all the babies into the tank with Pebbles. They are about a month and a half old now and I figured they were old and big enough to swim and hide from her. Everything was going good, my dad put nylon over the pump so the babies wouldn't get sucked up but the only problem was that it wasn't sucking up the food and stuff so the tank was getting really dirty so I just did a major clean the other day.
Then today when I went into my room just for a second to grab something I saw something weird in my tank. My babies are a month and a half old now and I know them pretty well now but I saw a new baby, one that was smaller swimming around in my tank. Then I saw another baby but it wasn't developed properly and it has another baby attached to it. It really scared me and I saw Pebbles swimming around it. So I went to get my net but I wasn't fast enough and she ate it. I didn't know what to do!
So I thought maybe Pebbles was having babies. I shut the pump off and took Pebbles out of the tank and into a little container filled with water. But I'm not sure if she's the one having the babies or not. Her gavid spot (spelling?) isn't black and doesn't look 'full' but it's red-black.... also some of my babies look kinda fat and i fed them and they werent eating. But I don't have a trained eye and at a month and a half old I can't tell what gender they are.
Please help
