[SIZE=7][COLOR=red]I got up this morning, and looked in the livebearer's tank, and there was a baby! My first! I ran and got my husband, and we ended up catching three of them to put in the breeding net. I am so excited! I crushed some flakes into a powdery mix, and have been giving them that. What else should I give them? How long do they have to stay in the breeder net? I am so excited, I feel like a proud grandma! purpban.gif purpban.gif purpban.gif

Hey what type of livebreeder is it?

A guppie?
Congradz on the fry!
Kev
leave them in there untill they are big enough not to fit in the other fishes mouths..... theres fry foods like liquifry etc and also new hatched brine shrimp is great !

Yes, I agree nely hatched brine shimp is good as well as baby fry food you can get at u're petstore. Congratulations on your Fry!!!

The babies are still doing well today!
Also, I got the new 29 gallon set up for the 2 goldies. I moved them (have biospira on the way to help cycle the tank), so now I have a free 10 gallon tank. Should I move the fry to that tank? Or leave them in the breeder net. I would be afraid to do water changes with them in the 10 gallon for fear of sucking them up!

I would leave them in the breeder net.
You can put a divider and put bettas in it?
