blainep Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I breed a lot of livebearers as well. They're fun to watch and easy to care for. Loads of personality as well. Good luck with the fry, I'll be watching for pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blainep Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 That's a good sized drop. Watch the female, livebearer females can be prone to infection after a drop. Congats ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congats ! what should I watch for? and if it whappens what do I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blainep Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 what should I watch for?and if it whappens what do I do? If she's looking active and eating, she's probably fine. If she's hiding out, lethargic or not eating, she might not be feeling well. Double up on your water changes for 2 or 3 weeks, if you see any problems, add a little aquarium salt to the water ( About 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons ) for a couple of weeks. If you need to add a little salt, dissolve the salt in a little water and add it to the aquarium slowly. It won't hurt your other fish and it will help keep nasty bacteria and parasites down.
