    sometimes live bearing fish die after giving birth sue to stress

  7. worshipshrimp says:

    What size were they when you got them p.s check out mine on my page

  8. crotalis1 says:

    dont think they are related but they get really large. do you think they are too old when we get them.

  9. worshipshrimp says:

    No its not normal but its not unheard of. Are the mollies who die related. If so try getting some more that arent because it might just be something genetic.

  10. crotalis1 says:

    please we need help our female mollies die as soon as they have babies. they seem fat and healthy until they have babies and then they die. is this normal?

    Hello I always do a 25% water change a week but it’s a highly planted tank! Just for the algae for the baby fish etc and they take down the heavy metals out of the water, just check out my video’s.

    The definitive “Fishstick!”

  19. zauzakeking says:

    nc vid i am just starting to breed and already had one batch but small 4 the others died for those of u it take about 2 days for fry to take on color and start shaping usually 7 days is when they have finished

  20. EllisYates says:

    ive got the one were the mother cant eat the fry but it doesnt work the fry swim up through the slots but still its good

  21. OptimousDX says:

    i dont do tht and the fry survive becuase i have alog in their and its dark in their and lots of places to hide

  22. cichlidkeeper89 says:

    you need to take the mother guppy out.
    that is the only way to stop her from eating the fry.

    you can buy a special breeder net for the guppies. when the mother has the babies, the fry drop through a slot in the bottom of the breeder, and the mother cant get them.

  23. TheMrHarryShow says:

    one of my guppies has just had fry in a net breeder i have 2 questions to ask about it how do stop the mother eating the fry in the net breeder and how do you know when the mother has finished breeding for the day gd vid

  24. TheSandyBreezy says:

    most video are too basic and the information given are known by most beginner aldready.

  25. ctenophor says:

    as apposed to live bearing sub-tropical fish, much much harder to breed
