I only have a male betta now...I sold my girls...the needed to breed with their own kind. My africans breed worse than rabbits. :shock:

They were from 2 moms...but when the females are full grown they can hold like 30 in their mouths. My Steveni peacock just spat out at least 20 that we can count. :shock:

Thanks guys...the moms' are holding again...more babies. :rolleyes: I may leave them in the main tank for population control...as soon as the babies are spat out of the mom's mouth all th eothr fish will eat em. :( But I don't have a lot of room for everyone who has fry...otherwise I may as well open my own fish store. :rotfl:

Aw. :( We had a fish have babies once and we didn't know what to do and she ate them... Or the other fish did. I don't remember!

It all depends on the type of fish. :coocoo: They eat their babies to protect them...uuh ok.

Allie, they are so cute! So tiny!
My future son in law, Ed, had a tropical tank now and wants to get another for cichlids. I may have some questions for you. ;)
They got me a baby biOrb tank for Christmas. I had 2 dwarf platys in it that died.
I'm going to give it another try soon, after I get the tank cycled. I'm brand new to aquariums.

Ask away...but I have only researched african cichlids from Lake Malawi...we've only been in the hobby for 8-9 mos now. All I have for fish now is 42 baby fish, the labs and steveni peacocks in a 32g...28 the mom held in her mouth for 21 days. :shock: That's a lot of babies.
and 32 subadult africans in the main tank. Plus my little betta Nigel by my pc. :)
Actually you should try a male betta in the baby biOrb...they are fine in those small tanks.

As soon as I get a job, I want to set up an aquarium (a small one- we're not allowed huge ones at my apartment) and I'm going to be asking you questions so get ready! :rotfl:
