Third batch of F2 Limia (islai x tridens) fry born just awhile ago. This time around 7 fry. This bring the F2 count to 13 (2, 4, 7). Seems a few looks weak so I’ll have to keep these guys separate for now. Plan to use them for the Liberty Molly project instead of the F1 males, crossing them to...

For now letting the adjust in my breedernet in my 40gal, before I transfer them out.

Thanks!!

Stumbled on these guys by accident! I was finding leads on where my recent stock of Liberty mollies came from, one lead to another, I seen cave mollies. I asked about it and my liberties. I couldn’t pass them up!! I was told they are slow growers, so I won’t be able to breed them for awhile but...

F2 T.L female is def gravid I see eggs in her which is great! I was gonna wait to get colored up pics of her to show her bars with the F2 humpback males. I got impatient they didn’t want to show off for me. Hopefully will see fry from her in 3 ish weeks probably less seeing how fast these...

Interesting male coloring up he has a bottom green iridescent chest streak, and black lines when fully active. possibly another f1 obscura x orangeline tri hybrid. Seems my late obscura male hit multiple ladies in his short time in my tank, still pretty neat the ladies are pumping them out. Good...

F1 mom and F2 fry The recent batch of f2’s are big enough to be in the tank. They look quite nice. The F1 female tho gives me cryptic pregnancies probably from the low fry count, so I can’t tell if she will drop her 3rd batch any time soon hard to tell. My digital microscope I use to take...

Thanks Stan! That’ll be interesting if it does down the line!

More F2 Tiger Liberty update: Just did a water change and cleaned the glass and threw in a pleco wafer just now and Ig that trigger the males to get frisky tonight. Successfully catching the F2 Humpback T.L male copulating with the F2 T.L female makes me happy. Her first batch will for sure be...

F2 Humpback Tiger Liberty Limia males update: So 4 out of 7 sexed out to male shown I got them separate for now. No hope on getting a female from this cross I see, mostly bc of the low count of specimens I’m working with. Not shown but a fifth one is sexing out soon def will be male the last...

Last post of the Lendlers & display media of Chunky boy the Lendler Like with Mr. Lendler right when they’re about to hit 2 years of age mark their health has been deteriorating. Losing vigor and weight eating less and less. I had no choice but to euthanize him in clove oil. Chunky actually...

display media: Pics (1-3): Netted out all the F1 individuals, final sex ratio heavily skewed 11 males and 2 females. I had late blooming males showed up that previously, I had thought were females. One of the ladies recently dropped F2 fry for me she gave me 6 fry but so far 1 passed away from...

Display media of the F2 T.L Mollies: They looks pretty nice they can pass as a Liberty Molly but to me I can still see differences between them and my pures.

The F3 Blonde Liberty hybrids. This is all except 1 one from the second batch I’m working with. They have the best color potential than the first batch I culled. I don’t want to jinx it with getting females so any males I’ll just keep them and cull any of their fry if they were to hit my pure...

Some males from the colony. Colony not as vigorous. I’m still culling bad spinal deformity fry, most are Silverado types. In the pics is a F1 K-class El Silverado. Downgrade from Dad who was the P-class Silverado, mother unknown most likely my F2 (Bluestar x Silverado) female. Next to him his a...

Chunky boy showing signs of aging hopefully he can make it to 2yrs old in late November around the 22nd. He was the first Lendler fry I’ve spotted when he was born. I don’t think I’ve shown the first ever pics of him. Chunky boy newly born.

The F2 are big enough to be with the other Limia hybrids. I know once they mature it’ll be hard to tell them apart from the F1’s. anyways here’s a F1 male sleeping under a leaf.

F1 Tiger Liberty Poecilia hybrid females final update for this gen: These are the last of my F1’s they served their purpose so this is the last media documentation of them. End results: only a few (~3) of the 12 females I’ve kept gave me F2 fry. Proving not all of the females were fertile...

F2 Limia (islai x tridens): Born today. They were too small to be F2 Tiger Liberty fry. They are grey based hue with a dorsal spot and black trim and asymmetrical barring atm. 100% identical to my F1’s so they are results of a sibling cross. My pure nigrofasciata male did mate with the F1...

They look so amazing when the sunlight hits the tank in the morning! You can see some of the males showing both parent species golden throats/chests. It’s amazing. I’m still unsure what I’ll do with the surplus males. I may keep all the females and select my 5 favorite males to let them breed...
