Hello everyone! So I got a question I have a tank right now that has a breeding pair of Kribensis they have spawned and only 8 Fry are swimming doing field trips around the tank it’s been about week now since I noticed them in the tank and maybe 4-5 days swimming outside with both parents. Today I came home from work and was noticing the 8 fry with there mom and I looked over to the dad and noticed a one little wiggler by himself like a little baby tadpole I see the yellow sac on the top of him/her eating away at matter on the bottom of my spider wood that I have in the tank. It’s this pairs first spawn together and while doing research I have seen multiple people have 30-100s of fry on there first batch. I was wondering maybe because in this tank I used to have two Cory’s and a single tiger barb with them but this weekend I removed them and placed them in my other tank I have. I did that of course to give the parents more room with the baby fry and of course they were becoming more aggressive as well. But non the less extremely exciting seeing a late bloomer I suppose 😂

Happy Wednesday! I got six juvenile pea puffers in February and now have one male and three females in my 10g heavily planted tank. The male has started exhibiting breeding behavior with the largest female. From what I've read, it's extremely difficult to breed these little guys so I'm not really worried about that or planning to encourage breeding. My questions are: Will this behavior exhibited by the male stress out the female enough to be concerned? Will aggression on either side heighten? Should I be concerned about the two smaller females who he seems to be completely disinterested in at the moment? They've been so happy and peaceful that I don't want to upset the balance.

I've got a small school of false juliis and recently have noticed a (what i believe to be) male cory constantly wiggling very rapidly at the female cories, following them about and rubbing his body against hers. I'm not familiar to cories, and have only had these guys for a month, but this new behavior is new. I'm curious if maybe it's spawning behavior?

So I was doing some routine maintenance on one of my smaller tanks, I had recently added some paradise fish in there along with some mollies. The LFS was trying to get rid of the paradise fish and I got them for free. I've two females and one male. (I think) I noticed all thee bubbles and got a fright! Like it was some sort of weird disease or something, but now I'm wondering is it breeding activity? I don't know alot about these fish so any information is great!
