Im a fish grandma! This is wonderful but great all at the same time. I walked in my room, saw something wiggling around, it was a swordtail fry!!! I ended up only finding 2, but I put them in the breeders net. The bad thing about this is I onyl have a ten gallon, because when I bought them, I though sts were just a version of platy! Then I thought they were swordtail platy crosses cause they werent growing very fast, so i was glad cause that would mean they are sterle. So my supposed swordtail cross has been getting fat, and ive been treating for bloat!!! That is until I saw 2 fry!!! Now I have the male, the female, and 2 fry! Im not allowed 2 get a bigger tank!!!!!!!
Ok so a few question
There is a very small miniscule chance that I can get a 20 gallon long, but thats pushing it, but how many swordtails can go in this? ill get a tank divider and divide the sexes if needed.
Also, I feed my fish frozen brine shrimp, flakes, and peas, I know I can feed the fry the peas and finely crus
crushed food, what about the brine?
Ok now another question, mommy swordtail has a cloudy eye, any idea why? It just came up 2day.
gah…..the tank is like 78 degrees and I cant get the heater 2 go any higher
oh sorry there are 4 babies, I copied this from something I posted when I only found 2
I wont find anymore, I already took all decor out of my tank looking for more.
