With some fish a drop in temp can cause eggs to be released, i'm not sure about livebearers. |

~ Sin ~![]() ![]() Mega Fish Posts: 1252 Votes: 28 Registered: 24-Mar-2003 ![]() ![]() | Livebearers have an annoying little habit of not giving birth till they're jolly well good & ready. When she feels it's right she'll give birth. Trying to force her will only lead to stress which is dangerous for both the mother & the babies. ![]() Wait it out. ![]() |

If this is not the case and she isn't 'getting bigger', then water changes can help promote breeding with egg la |
