Raising the Fries

In raising the fries you might notice that they make progress in color and in size you might also notice that their color is different from the mother it's because the mother and the father might different in color so the color of the fry will vary it can be the color of the mother or the color of the father or mixed color of the parents. Raising the fries is also hard because the fries are gentle and fragile and you need a water change every week or every 2 weeks so it's hard and while changing 20% of the water the fry might die. So I advice that you use a sprinkler (used on watering plants) in changing water. And you might notice that the fries are being bigger every week and you can notice their gender and their color. And when the fries are fully grown you need to separate the male from the female cause the males will harass the females. And remember that when the female and the male were placed in one tank they will breed and breed and breed then the female will be stressed. And you can also notice that when the fry is getting bigger it is not complete, example the fry doesn't have another fin it's because you keep on chasing them by your fish net or whatever thing you use to chase them. And remember that don't forget to feed the fries because they are fast to die. If you will go somewhere far that you will take too long to comeback (not very long) just put lots of java moss in your tank they will eat it.

Taking Care Of Fries

Taking care of fries is somehow hard cause the fries are very fragile. In taking care of fries they should have their own tank and you should not chase the fries or try to catch them cause they will die. Fries are very fragile and gentle. In terms of tank of the fry you need a low pressure air pump cause the fries will die in strong pressure. And the fries need to eat more then 3-4 times a day. In terms of food for fries there are many options of food as it can be homemade or from your local pet store,if you want the homemade food there are 2 possible food 1st is the hard boiled egg then 2nd  is the very fine fish flakes. To make the hard boiled egg fish food just hard boil an egg then remove the egg yolk from the egg white then put it in a small container then just pinch some small amount depending about how many fries you're going to feed then just put the container with egg yolk in a refrigerator. Then the 2nd food is the very fine fish flakes, you just need to crash the fish flakes, one way to crash the fish flakes is by putting it in resealable plastic bag or a plastic bag then tie the knot of the plastic bag or seal the the resealable plastic bag then just squeeze the bag so that the fish flake will be crashed, another way in crashing the fish flakes is by putting it in a cylindrical container or in the container itself of your fish flakes then just get a solid tube or something that you can use to crush the flakes inside the cylinder then just crush it until it became powder-like then just separate the powdered fish flakes from the non fully crushed fish flakes by filtering it in a strainer then put the powdered fish flakes in  the other container then just crush the flakes that is not fully powdered. And just feed them 3-4 time daily. Then if you want to know the gender of the fries it's hard cause they are small but if you have a sharp eye or a good camera you can know it but sometimes the fish's anal fin is so small or its like transparent cause it's thin.

Breeding

Breeding Livebearer fish is not hard that even a kid can do it but taking care of the fries is a somehow hard.

When you want to breed livebearers you need 2  big tanks cause when the fries are born they need separate tanks from the parents cause they will it the fries. Actually when breeding livebearers you only need artificial or live plants (which you already have in your tank). Then just leave the males and the females in your tank then they will do their job. Then they will chase each other then after that its done they will just do it again sometimes to fertile the eggs inside the mother. Then just wait for the time that the mother will have a gravid spot (picture below).

Then when you want the fries to live longer or don't die because you keep on chasing or catching them in the your main tank (where the parents are) to put them in another tank, just put the mother livebearer to the other tank and let her do her thing, wait for her to be done giving birth then remove her in the tank then put her in the main tank cause if you don't put her in the main tank she will eat as many as fry as she can eat. And when you put her in the main tank be sure to remove the other male or just don't let them chase the mother fish cause the mother is very stressed from giving birth. The mother fish might die because of being stress. Then just feed the parents 2-3 times a day like your usual feeding to them and remember that don't let the other male chase the newly gave birth mother.

Telling the Gender Apart

Male Guppy Fish: Male Guppy also have a and its more fancy/colorful than the female and it has smaller body.

Different Kinds Of Livebearers

Live Bearers: Live bearers will not lay eggs, but give birth to free-swimming baby fish. The eggs are fertilized  inside the mother fish. Baby fish will develop until it is big enough to be born.

Kinds Of Livebearers: Kinds of livebearers are Swordtail Fish, Molly Fish, Guppy Fish, Endler's Guppy etc.

Swordtail Fish (Xiphophorus hellerii) Swordtail are obviously  fish with tail that looks like a sword.

Molly Fish (Poecilia) Molly Fish have varieties of colors, such as Dalmatian Molly, Black Molly, White Molly etc.. And it also have lots of shapes such as, Sail-fin, Short Fin etc.
