What was your largest batch of fry?

**fish_doc** · 04-21-2006, 05:10 PM

Just wondering what your largest batch of fry ever was and what type of fish had it.

Keep in mind a small number of one type of fish can be a great accomplishment while other fish could literally number in the thousands and be average.

I had a black con pair give me 300 fry one time The male was 3 inches and the female was 4 inches.
Other than them I had a angel pair lay 200+ eggs but by the next morening the parents had ate every last one.
With the livebears I had a 3 inch female guppy that dropped 60 to 70 fry for 4 months befor she died.

I had a female Sailfin Molly, Poecilia velifera, that was about 6 inches long and she gave birth to about 300 fry in 6 1/2 hours.

Ditto, though most spawns I've had (over 150) have been in the 100 range.

**Fishfirst** · 04-28-2006, 09:19 PM

Bangaii Cardinalfish - 12 but none of them made it to the net before my hoven's wrasse ate them all

msdolittle · 04-28-2006, 09:20 PM

My very first batch (swordtail) was (drumroll please).................ONE!

My second batch (black molly) was another astounding number, 14!

dwool36 · 04-29-2006, 05:15 AM

rywill · 05-19-2006, 11:17 AM

i got about 50+ red jewel fry that have made it

darkfalz · 05-19-2006, 03:05 PM

About 200 Betta fry on my very first spawn. More seemed to appear every day, because many were hiding in the Java moss I had there and eventually came out to the surface.

gemjunkie · 05-19-2006, 06:54 PM

327 surviving bettas from one spawn and I am a heavy culler from day ONE. I'm not sure how many there were to start with, probably more than 500 and that's no joke, I have the pics to prove it.....

100+ albino bristlenose roughly 75 still kickin at one inch or better now.

123 eureka reds from 3 - 2&1/2 inch females (about 100 lived and are in grow out now) That was the second spawn. Only about 70 in grow out from their first round.

28ish L333 fry, his first spawn in my tank. He's had 2 more since, NO Idea how many fry are in there now, will find out tomorrow..

I guess that's more than enough. Was supposed to just be the biggest spawn. Doesn't matter how big or small, I'm always amazed when they live and grow up for me.

cucci67 · 05-24-2006, 04:13 PM

a little over 40 swordtails, got the store credit to prove it

kribcichlid · 12-02-2006, 08:48 PM

700 plus black convicts. Male 12 in and female 16 in.Huge fish, About 550 made to be old enough to sell. Made over a hundred dollars.

catluv74 · 12-02-2006, 09:27 PM

I have a swordtail that better drop very soon...LOL.

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.
