Gourami Mega Fish Posts: 1205 Kudos: 477 Votes: 1 Registered: 23-Apr-2002	My swordtail just had about 50 babies! This is her 9th batch since she has been with a male now. I wonder what the record is for how many batches a fish has had off of one breeding?

After that stage, they'll be pretty fast & can escape other fish. I feed my livebearer fry, flakes & food petters that stick to the tank glass. They all join in & in that way, it will be easier to catch them as well. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
