I have a community tank where my 8 month old pair of angels are the proud
parents of 100+ fry. I don't know if they'll make it, but the parental
units are doing a great job, and I've removed the other residents of the
tank. They hatched last Thursday and are now swimming (or I should say are
being herded) around the tank in a school. This has never happened to me
before so I don't know what will happen next, but if any survive, is there
anyone in the Ocala area that would be interested in having some of them? I
don't want to get involved with mailing fish around, this would be on a pick
up or drop off basis. Mom is a gold veil and dad is gold marble, so the
babies will probably have lots of orange on them. I got these two at a
local fish store, so don't know their actual genetics.





I had a black molly drop 50 fry. One friend took the larger ones. I
ended up spreading the rest over my 5 tanks. Some got eaten, some
died of one thing or another.

The experience ended my love affair with live bearers. I finally
separated the boys from the girls.

Egg fry are so vulnerable. Don't you almost have to raise them in
their own tank? If the eggs don't get moldy, it seems to me the fry
quickly get eaten in community tanks.

That is the whole reason I keep live bearers. Free food is always nice.
Especially when you know the source.
