bettachris     Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004   | will a female release eggs with out the male breeding with her? i have a group of 1 male long fin, 1 (smaller*) female long fin, and a (big, but same size as male) 1 female short fin, now when i got the big female, she was more deeper, but in the last few days she has become more slim, the tank is not a breeding tank, with no gravel, and a few floating anarcris. |

tinfoil Big Fish Posts: 438 Kudos: 252 Votes: 1 Registered: 27-Feb-2003  | you will need to have a couple (male + female) for rosies to shed eggs. The female will not release eggs wothout a male at her side. There must be another reason for her to become slim all of a sudden ... |

Rosies are know for eating them just as soon as they drop if not sooner. If it's not set up as a breeding tank you're likely not going to see any fry. ^_^[hr width='40%'] The life, the love, You die to heal. The hope that starts, The broken hearts...
