what kind of fish???

steelerfan1 · 06:20 PM Mar 18, 2009

I have platies * i think that is how u spell that *

Angel Fish

and some tetra's

My orange platies are nothing but sluts . They get knocked up as soon as they poke out their babies lol. My tank is nothing but a sex motel for them lol.

I have two breeding cups right now.

One has about 20 babies in it. They are about 2 months old now and my other cup had 33 babies in it.

Like I said had. I went to bed that night there was 33 babies in that tank , I got up the next morning and there was TWO babies in it. I knew wasnt drinking the night before and was just imagining them little fish lol

The tanks have little vents at the bottom of them, not enough for the fish to get out , but since I have Angel fish they went to the bottom of the vents and sucked them out if they was laying there . I didnt know Angels could suck that hard lmao.

Because they are so little and cant swim right away after birth and their bodies are so soft the Angels can do that.

I got to figure out away for that not to happen again. I have a 20 size tank still sitting up I think i will transfer the babies to that tank from now on.

I wish it just wasnt the orange ones having babies I already told hubby I dont want a full tank of orange fish lol. So my pet store down here will take them and give me store credit for fish food lol.

Oh heck yeah Angel fish love to eat babies...even their own.

I have stuck with GoldFish and a big ole' black Catfish....Think 2 Gold fish the size of your hand...Plus Spaz(black catfish) the same size. plus 2 African claw frogs and 4 smaller(not by much) gold fish.
Went and bought a 10 gallon thinking the frogs would do good there..nope they like their buddies...so put the smaller golds in there...nope they missed their buds too..so now I have them all in the 20gallon long...hhhmm do I still have pics? latte do you still have the pics?

Anyway the best thing is to get another tank...call the pet stores and sell them or even list them On Craigslist....or umm you can (don't hurt me) sell them as feeders.

gable,

Michael my son wants to get frogs but I was kind leary in that dept. I have never delt with frogs.

do they reproduce like crazy ? I dont want a tankful of frogs lol.

do they require special treatment ? I have a 55 gallon tank

Hubby wants to keep our orange ones and get them fat and use them for bait

I used to have convict fish. They would have babies every couple months. It was funny to watch them. The Mom (or Dad don't know which) would stay on one side of the tank with her babies and the other couple fish would stay on their side. Whenever one of the babies would get too far away the Mom would go suck him up and bring him back with the others and spit him out. Sadly, all her hard work rarely paid off. Out of all the litters / schools / batches (not sure of the word for it) of babies only one fish ever made it to adulthood.
