So, I cleaned out the 10 gallon my 5 females were in, I moved all my guppies into another 10 gallon, and as I'm scooting the gravel vac around, this one piece of "stuff" rapidly scooted away. It was a fry!!! None of my females even looked pregnant! I haven't seen any more babies in any of the tanks since.

So, now the little booger is in a business card sized box with an airstone. Good thing I didn't throw away my Hikari "FirstBites".....At least water changes will be easy. It should be safe in there, a whole lot safer than in the 2.5 gallon tank with the wild guppy or in the 5 gallon with the betta and barb.

Congratulations!!! What a nice surprise. I hope your little fry grows up big and strong

That's great!

Of course, you need to post pics!

Found two more in the 10 gallon with everyone, so SOMEONE is having babies....I'll have to check again before I go to bed.

Their little box has furnishings now, a tiny terra cotta pot, and some silk leaves sticking out of it.

That takes me back to when I first found my first fry, it was a molly, and it was in the tank at my grandmas house and she bought an all white molly, a black molly, and a dalmation molly and we didnt know too much about fish and this was in a 10 gallon and a couple of days later we had a fry and we saved it and put it with an airstone and it lived and grew to be an all white and then it died a couple of years later! I hope everything works out for you, sorry to go off on a rant like that

Congrads on your fry!
Hope they grow up to be nice an strong, Arr

Alright. So I put them in the 5 gallon planted tank with Clifford. 2 vanished. When I moved, I put the last one and the shrimp in a bag with all the plants, then put them and the 3 tropicals in the 5 gallon, Clifford went in the 2.5, and the last fry vanished overnight

Since I'm home for the weekend now, I might pick out one or two of the month-old fry and bring them, they're too big to be eaten now.
