Tiger Strain Endler fry!

[R_sustaita]

so last friday i arrived home at 3pm and to see new fry swiming and running from the older fry. i actually saw how they would eat them. so i took them into a small tank to grow them or sell them. i have 25 juvies and 20 fry. and no tanks.

yeah, i just moved them from the 3.5 to the 10 and i counted about 20-25 lots of them and the adult female is pregnant again. i hope i can find a buyer for them. itook my 3.5 to work with a trio but i know know what sex they are.

I had two female Tiger Endlers about a month and a half ago (the male died). Now I have about 100 fries, 1/4 of them now starting to show signs of male development. First month I couldn't sex them, they all look the same. They love my java moss.

on a side note. those little guys i saw may not been newborns. as in size they are about 3/8 inch little more than 1/4 inch. as of yesterday the female still had a black belly. today in the morning no more black belly. about 3 weeks ago i notice the same thing but since my tank is so small with black sand and those guys are super clear, i may not had seen them. i do have a male on the tank so she may had pop round 2 already.

So I did a water change yesterday and i counted about 10-15 they move to fast. i still have the mom in there as she still has little black on he belly. also with the water change the shrimp got a little more active.

[eklikewhoa]

So they started Friday or today? I would try and give 12hrs or so to make sure all babies are out.
