LOL... never even kept seahorses, but my largest batch of guppy fry beats yours... it had about 100 survivors! O_O I made about $90, expenses estimated.

MollyFry · 12-04-2006, 04:48 AM

lets see, my current count on Silver Lyretail mollies is 15, but i think there are some still in hiding

38-40 red velvet swordtails. All gone now but 1 and I found him hiding under the ship. He now lives in a brandy glass til he's big enough to not get eaten. We named him Lucky.

Where do you take them once they are grown? I've talked to a few of the stores around town and they don't like to trade or buy from customers. They only buy from suppliers. One sounded like they might, but they didn't seem very confident. I am also trying to get rid of my angels before a problem arrises with the tiger barbs and they definitely weren't interested in them.

I sold them to local home owned petshops

when i stripped my female rubescens i got @ 80 fry from her...couldnt believe it.

Gump · 12-05-2006, 11:25 PM

My biggest was a dovii/jag mix. about 1500-2000 eggs were layed and i pulled about 500 .5" fish out of it. most became feeders at that point.

ultasol · 12-08-2006, 09:20 AM

I've got bolivian ram fry everywhere. Two spawns in less than a month, both spawns were huge and the eggs had a hatch rate of over 95%.
My angels also have had two spawns in a month. Not as high of a hatch rate, but they are growing faster.

I'm not counting them though, it would be nigh near impossible

catluv74 · 12-12-2006, 05:52 AM

I got a whopping 2 Swordfish fry...LOL

bettaboy691 · 01-07-2007, 07:23 AM

my platy had 20, most of which were eaten...
and my molly had an amazing 3...none survived, nor did the mother

my bettas did have about 300 fry once, but only 200ish survived.

thebrick · 01-07-2007, 08:25 AM

50 guppy fry all of which are growing nicely

MollyFry · 01-08-2007, 03:44 PM

I have more babies and this time i believe she has delivered about 55-60, my tank is full and i am still waiting for 10 G to cycle.

fishbguy · 02-17-2007, 09:01 AM

30 feeder guppy fry from one female, 20 from the other. only about 20 are left. i don't know what happened to them. they are in their own tank and i haven't found any bodies.

angelfishamy · 02-17-2007, 10:04 AM

I had 2 guppies drop fry at the same time so I had about 150+.My angels had about 100+ before they seen the angel in my other tank(right beside it) and they freaked out and ate them all.That happened about 3 weeks ago.Since then I have put a piece of paper on the side lol.They haven't had any sucess recently now they just eat the wigglers.I would artificially hatch them but dad won't buy me another tank. I have to and right now I have a car payment,insurance and a cell phone bill due

s10fishguy · 03-11-2007, 03:31 PM

22 guppy fry......good first batch for a beginer

flamingo · 03-11-2007, 03:49 PM

Well, my dwarf seahorse should be popping out like 4 fry in a few days... be jealous.

darkfalz · 03-11-2007, 03:59 PM

I got 19 platy fry, 17 of which survived and are now living it up. I bred bettas once and must have had over 100 fry, but they didn't last very long

Cichlidsrule · 04-18-2007, 09:36 AM
