Are you intrested in having them spawn again? This is what it sort of
sounded like.. I believe they would very much be like guppies ( it has been a wile for me to be very intrested in Swords and other live bearers ) . I would expect the females to go in a about 21 to 28 day cycles of carrying the fry to birthing.. I would suspect, because these are semi related to guppies, that you may encourage the females into pregnancy you feed them blood worm a week after they have spawned for about three or four days and they will most likely bring another brood in just under a month.. In my expieriance with gups, freeze dried blood worm or fresh frozen blood worm seems to be as effective.. Give it a whirl, and let us know what happens.. Tim "LoaderLady" wrote in message news ![]() I would suggest that you leave the adults together and keep a close eye on them. When you see one of the females looking pregnant and ready to burst, move her to a tank of her own and let nature take it's course. Be sure to move her after, though, so she doesn't eat the babies. This is what I did with my guppies. -- } Tammy { Support the Canakin Project with me, by linking to your favorite store from this address: http://www.geocities.com/ontario_canakin All Proceeds will be used to purchase equipment, fish, etc for the Canakin Project Watkins Business Opportunity www.tsginfo.com Enter code TD3796 Me and my fish Thank You!!
