Fish Be With You!: Breeding

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.
