Recently found these while cleaning (had goth aunts who left a lot of stuff behind after moving out) and I’m struggling to find the specific make/name? Presumably because of how old they are. Any help would be greatly appreciated 😅
Looking after my friends fish temporarily. I’ve kept fish before but never livebearers, so I’m not sure what to look for.
One of the females is quite plump, and I’m wondering if she might be pregnant. She spends a lot of time hiding near the substrate and decorations, and the only male in the tank follows her constantly.
I’ve also noticed her vent area looks way more prominent than usual.
Does this sound like pregnancy, or could she just be overweight which is my friends opinion? If it is pregnant how do I maximise the ammount of babies that survive/ don’t get eaten by the other fish?
A little bit of context, I originally got the plant it was cut from for basically nothing because of how damaged it was so it’s a miracle I’m even here asking this question, but it survived somehow 😅 after a few months of having it it pushed out this new growth, but it grew quite oddly on the main plant so I decided to cut it off and grow it as a new plant to give it a fresh start, but when I tried to propagate it originally I didn’t put it in water, I used soil, as a result part of the stem near the bottom rotted. It only started growing roots and is even pushing a new leaf out in the water, so I’m wondering when I should transfer it to soil or if I should just continue growing it in water? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
