Lol! And that's so cool, will this be your first batch or not? And does she look really close?

**Baby_Baby** · 08-17-2005, 08:14 PM

yup, first batch. she's gettin there. maybe a 4-5 days maybe.

Alisha · 08-17-2005, 08:39 PM

Cool, that's so exciting! Are you going to keep ALL of them???

**Baby_Baby** · 08-17-2005, 08:57 PM

yup. every last one of em. If the babies breed with each other. (when they're older) will that be a bad thing?

Alisha · 08-18-2005, 05:39 PM

I've heard if you inbreed too much it will cause the fry to have deformities and eventually die. So it's not really a good thing...

**Baby_Baby** · 08-18-2005, 07:37 PM

well i mean for this fry. just this fry. LOL. um ya but I was redoing my tank (tankin out sand and all that, new decorations) and like I had to put some of me fishies in a 10 gallon, so after 3 days i tranpsorted most of the fish into the 29 gallon i was redoing. anywayz, I left the pregnant female in the 10 gallon and i left her some friends ( a school of neons) so like should i keep the neons in there or take em out (as soon as she has her fry, everyone goes, except the fry

Alisha · 08-19-2005, 05:12 PM

Oh, well I'm sure these Fry will be fine, but if they keep inbreading, then you could run into some problems...and I would take out the neons and the mom and just leave the fry in the 10 gallon, other wise it would be very hard to save ALL of them, like you wanted to. I'm sure you would still have some survivors, but not all...

**Baby_Baby** · 08-19-2005, 05:21 PM

well i don't want her to get lonely. but ya I'll take em out. she is hovering in a corner. and she's about to pop!

Alisha · 08-19-2005, 09:18 PM

Wow how exciting! Any day now huh?

**Baby_Baby** · 08-20-2005, 09:27 AM

yup she's gettin fat. and she is sooooooo close i think she'll have em today or tomorrow or the day after that!

Alisha · 08-20-2005, 03:03 PM

Cool! I can't wait to hear all about the little guys! My fry are just now getting color, and to think, yours will just be born!

**Baby_Baby** · 08-20-2005, 06:00 PM

hey how long till they get big enough so i can put them in my 29 gallon with me other fishies?

Alisha · 08-20-2005, 08:39 PM

It depends on how fast they grow, and that depends on the temperature ( The higher the temp, the faster they grow ) and how much you feed them. But as long as the fish you put them with aren't aggressive, I would think you could put them in with them as long as the fry are bigger then the other fish's mouth...

**Baby_Baby** · 08-21-2005, 03:38 PM

2 weather loaches
1 common pleco
7 neons tetras (4 black 3 regular)
6 white clouds
