Polemos Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 So I woke up this morning to notice one endler baby swimming in my tank, I looked for more but haven't found any. Is there a chance they were eaten? And should I remove it from the tank and put it by itself? One of my females still looks very pregnant but I'm not sure how long it takes them to birth their young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 You could put in a breeder net for fry. But usually, Endlers are survivors. I'd be surprised if you weren't overwhelmed by new Endlers in about six months. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen the others don't bother it when it swims up to them. I'm just surprised there is only one unless the others are just really good at hiding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got some inviting spots in there for little ones to seek refuge in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of all the plants I couldn't do chemicals or heat to get rid of them. The local pet shop I go to offered me these endler livebearers about a month ago to get rid of the problem naturally. I like these fish though and I read they could be extinct in the wild now so I'll probably keep them. Still have a slight hydra problem though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find they show up bad when I feed heavily on too much on newly hatched baby brine shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feed these ones once a week, they have lots of algea that grows crazy fast but I'm keeping feeding down to help thin the hydra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
