Ok, so they're livebearer babies but still, I don't see them often as they get munched quickly by other tank occupants
I found one of my guppy (red lace snakeskin) females dropping fry at the weekend and managed to get her into a breeding net. She'd dropped 4 or 5 before I managed this and I'd seen most of them get munched by other tank occupants. Harsh, but a good natural food I guess... Anyway, she had a further 5 in the net, though one was still born so I have 4 in there now (and one I've seen hiding in the tank amongst the plants - tough little guy )
Today I've found more babies which look like they're new borns (about 8 of them). I think they are guppy fry but they seem smaller than the ones I saw drop out of the female guppy.
Here's a pic
And here's what one of the potential fathers looks like:
I'm definately need to get them into the bigger tank now! Getting pretty crowded in the tank now.
