Breeding Fishforum for discussing issues related to the breeding of freshwater tropical fish. Breeding for profit, grow out tank size recommendations, breeding various freshwater species, etc. Post your questions here.
I'll start. This is a week old molly. If from my male, then half-sailfin, half-golden nugget (the mom). If not from my male, then who knows what the dad half is? We've got 11 of them in our nursery tank at the moment.
You just DON'T know what you're getting into do you We show of our fishie babies almost as much as we do our human children LOL
The first are Koi Angel Mom and fry. the fry have since grown up
The second are 1 week-old bristlenose fry
The third are Albino Aeneus Cory fry
the fourth Multis and fry.
Ok I'll let you rest now. Thanks for looking.

Thanks I want that job also. We could be co-workers Maybe Dino would let us work for him when he opens his store in a few years
lets see if the swimming baby angels will work or not.
second is a different kind of bristlenose called L107
and heres some that have already been posted in another thread. http://www.fishlore.com/Forum/10-fis...h-house.0.html

Here's 2 of my darling ballon molly's 3-day old fry, sharing an algae wafer with their half-brother or sister. Soooo cute. It's funny, the big one is developing a Mickey Mouse pattern on the top of his head. Mickey Mouse platies, beware, here come the Mickey mouse mollies!
And here's another one of the older fry eating, playing happy family. They go nuts for the Hikari algae pills. These fry are about 2 months old now. Some of them have absolutely stunning eyes.
First one are the 2-month old fry from my sailfin molly. I've just transferred them from a 7G nursery tank to a 30G and they're quite happy schooling around to explore! Imagine, 13 big fry and 10 tiny ones to share that huge volume.
Last 2 ones are the 3-day old fry from my balloon molly.
Here's a little story of pill pushing and what drugs will do to molly youth. OK, my little guys go abely nuts on hikori algae pills (wafers). I took pictures of the nutters having a go at it and it's hilarious:
1/ First fry sees it and goes for the kill
2/ Other fry see it and it's a ravenous mob fight
3/ The idiots are such savages that they push the pill to the edge of their rock and...
4/ Sure enough it falls and gets squished under the castle.
hey, never mind the bath, I got another digital camera today, and that overcomes some of the problems I've been having. Here's a few pics of the family:

Just taken a few more pics of the latest arrivals here, and thought you might like to see them!
The first is the first lay from the newest batch of angels. They are just starting to free-swim, and still have their yolk sacs. They measure around 1mm in body length, so sorry about the blurred image.
Second picture is of the very latest arrivals. These are Albino Guppies and arrived this morning. Again, they are very small and also camera-shy so stayed at the back of the tank!
Third is one of the angel fry (right), from the previous batch with a young dwarf gourami (left). These each measure about 4mm tip to toe and are now about 2 1/2 weeks old.
The last picture was taken through my magnifying glass, and shows the angel fry close-up!
Enjoy!
