when to expect fry

jesse_fish_kid · 12-01-2007, 07:36 PM

I have a lyretail swordtail that I think is about to have fry, I can see the eyes of the fry grouped together in the fish whan should I expect the fry?

Anytime now

. If you can see the fry/their eyes, then be ready for them. Remember, the mother may eat them, so keep an eye on her if you want the fry to survive

I have got her in a breeding trap that I saved 130+ green swords with the other day

Just remember not to leave her in there for too long. It is really stressful on the mother. Good luck
