breeding bn

well i got a nice surprise this morning male calico with babies mum either long fin albino or long fin common as i think 2 other calico a bit young and starting to show a few bristles there in my community tank with ballon mollies loads of endlers ranging from fry to adult and neon tetras is it ok to leave in there its a 3 ft tank i can move out to a 70lt tank till i get my 4ft in a few weeks what should i do

when do we get some pics and when do i get some endlers lol

that didnt answer my question karl do i remove mollies or remove dad and babies to a nother tank ???? oh and when ya get ya arse to aldinga ya get endlers i also finding it very difficult to get more as the supplier wont send them yet as they say there not good enough to send Mum could be longfin common as i saw her in man cave with the male calico doing the wild thing

Congratulations on the spawn , personally I would move the male and fry.

Haha lol sorry. I have a couple Guppys and a black molly in with my Peps and the fry are fine, no probs. Once the male releases the fry they should b too big for the mollys and endlers to eat

think it be easier to move out mollies if i see them having a go at the fry as a few of the fry are darting around the tank while i watch atm the fry are around half size to a full grown male endler this was so uninspected as i have a breeding tank set up with normal albino bn there doing nothing oh and DOUG if you read this the mum is 1 i got of you

babies started to swim around noticed 1 baby lighter in colour just seen dad and female common long fin doing the wild thing in his man mansion so here we go again

congratulations! now if only mine could show the slightest interest of breeding lol

I'm very excited to hear about your fry!!

Endlers aren't suppose to munch on their own fry, so shouldn't the BN fry be too big by the time they are out?

I plan on having Endlers in my BN tank... Thought it would be a good combo, and pretty too.
In fact my Black Bar Endlers (from AdrainHD -here in the states) are arriving this week.

I have had Endlers with my BN's and they have never shown any interest in the BN fry and don't really predate on there own. There is also a theory that hormones given off by Endlers and Guppys while mating can help as a trigger for BN's

I plan to have my endlers in all my breeding tanks, they are fine with fry. Mollies shouldn't be too bad. I'd get rid of em just in case... And get more endlers

def put the mollies in another tank, they love to eat fry and eggs.. not worth the risk if you ask me...

mollies already in another tank babies swimming around dads already on more eggs new 4ft coming thursday swapped it for green tree frogs i was going to sell

that is not a bad swap, now wonder what to do with the 20 frogs I have in the pond....lol....

ive raised these frogs from tadpoles green tree frogs i can get about $30 for them so a 4ft tank on stand light heater and filter is a good deal to me and saves me selling frogs to get money as tanks coming from my lfs 1 of his spares so a bit sad to see them go

I always swap my live fish and aquatic snails rather than selling them...
