So, the question is, what now??


Heh, I just got your subject line :-)


:-)


Anyway, my local Petco will accept some fish as donations, which they will
adopt out for no cost. This might be an option with fish shops near you.


Thats what i was thinking

Otherwise, you may want to find a school or university that might want
them for classrooms or research.


Not sure i could do this, not that im squemish particularly, but dont think
that the wife or kids would be too happy with this option

Lastly, maybe you could find someone who wants to set up a new tank; you
could provide them with a fish stock at little or no cost.


(don't the babies make good goldfish food?)
ducks & runs


*heh*

Well, we had two female white mollies in a tank upstairs and moved them this
evening to the 50 gallon tank downstairs which had a male and female.

Unless you want to be overrun by the fry, go out and get some tiger
barbs and let nature take it's course.

[At one point, I had a couple hundred fry in a 20 gal tank, all from one
male and two females. Finally gave the lot to the LFS, since I couldn't
re-home as fast as the adults produced young.]

I'd say sit back and enjoy. Live birth is a pretty cool thing to watch.

unfortunately, this morning, the female he was most interested in is gone,
dunno where :-(

Gone? How can she be gone? Has she done a Nemo and managed to make it to the
sea do you think? Have you found any stones in the filter?

I have often lost sight of a fish or snail for days only to have it
reappear. Especially in a planted tank. I was surprised to find two
young platties that were obviously over a month old down in the
vegetation. Then again, I have once or more found a carcass on the
floor or in a filter. Keep looking.

Aye well, the thing is that was ages ago and im pretty sure that i said that
there was a lobster in the tank, since then he's had 2 danios and a female
gourami! Oh and 3 bloodfin tetra!
