My fish have new babies today:)

Congratulations ! It is really great. Just like to know where they lay their eggs and whether you put some aquatic plants inside the aquarium.

wow thats was so cute. it made me want to buy some fish too. i also want to buy fish and a tank years ago but i might not have the time to clean it and feed it so until now i am not buying one. but i wish in a perfect good time i can buy myself one. its a nice feeling when you see your pets like that. can i have some fish....lol...wink wink

Hi friend, it is a great idea to raise fish in your house as your kid could learn a lot from it. Congratulation! You got so many new baby fish in such a short period. Do you separate the baby fish from the mother fish by putting them into another aquarium? I was told that it is rather safe not to let the baby fish to stay together with the adult fish. It is believed that the new born fish will bring fortune to their master. Hope you will get more and more lovely and colorful peacock fish later on. Have a nice day and Good Luck!

that's great, congrats! fishes are great for a pet.

Aww that is great - how cool. My son has always wanted a small acquarium for our home but i am not sure whether we should or not :)

Your "peacock" fish are probably guppies. It is best to have two or more females for each male so that he doesn't harass the female(s) as much. They are live bearing fish that can store sperm and produce as many as 5 or more broods from one mating. You still need to change some water on a regular basis, I try to change abut 25% or more each week. I add anti chloramine liquid to the water that I put back in the tanks that I have (I have 10 aquariums set up and running).

well congratulations on your new additions to your household.. I bet your son was just elated and overjoyed to see all the little fishes swimming around the aquarium.

Hey, that's great!;) I always want to see a fish reproduce in captivity, like insde an aquarium. I have not been lucky enough, after some failed trials on taking care of them. That is very rare, I believe so I hope that you take care of them!;)

Congrats on the babies!! I bought some guppys a while back. I hade one male and 30 females. They pop out babies like crazy!! Hes one busy male guppy! Its neat to see the babies grow up and get color. Make sure you crush the flakes really little so the babies can eat it. They also need to be feed more often. Feed small amounts 2 times a day for the first two weeks. That will ensure they survive. You could also catch all the babies and but them in a net breeder. I did untill they were about half inch. Then I knew they were beeing feed and wouldnt get eaten. Good Luck with the babies!!

I love fish too.. I dont have fish of my own but I always feed the fish in the big pond in my workplace and I fell in love with them. I've ever have a lou han fish in aquarium and she deliver lots of eggs. I watched it everyday as the eggs hatched and it was so wonderfull. I watch them grew up and only few survive... One of the most amazing moment in my life..

Hello dear youless. Congratulations, dear friend. So it is worth it to get the peacock fish as it bears more baby fish. So how about your baby fish now, as it is three weeks since you posted this discussion? I hope that they are all growing and living happily in the aquarium. Thanks for the good news.

wow that's amazing and I'm happy for you. it's quite exciting for young kids to see fish reproduce. or hamsters since many kids have hamsters as pets these days. i hope the delivery was successful and the small fry (that's what baby fish are called) were not eaten by their mom as it tends to happen. keep us updated on your fish adventures!

Hi youless! tropical fishes are very beautiful and colorful. I bet those peacock fishes are equally beautiful too. That is beautiful when you see those little fishes swimming around the aquarium. I remember how happy I was and amazed the first time I had an aquarium and one day we just woke up, having so many baby fishes swimming around. It was so beautiful and we were all surprised that we had purchased a pregnant swordfish. Congratulations on your new baby fishes! take care and have a nice day. :)

congratz! we do have a goldfish in here but rex[its his name!] is alone. so having babies is quite impossible. ^-^ i used to watch the fish eat its food and its relaxing.

Hey yl, awww that's special +'s |:)

That sounds really nice..i hope by this time you have more number of baby fishes in your fish tank and believe they might have grown a little big..right?I know its amazing to see small fishes making teh atmosphere lovely.great to watch them swim here and there and eating food all time and moving so briskly all the 24 hours..i love to watch fish..i always have an idea to keep a fish tank at home..hope my desire get fufill very soon..take care of your fish babies..lol

it is interesting and joyful,lol.but I want to remind you,you should put the baby fish in another container,or else the big fish will eat them,although the big fish maybe their mother,so do this quickly,or else you will find the baby fish will become less and less.

Nice to see the little ones swimming..Watching the fish swimming in the aquarium.. will reduce the blood pressure and will ease tensions off.. to you from now on.. So no worries, my friend, next time you fight!!? with your hubby.. just watch the fish swimming..lol: ( Only for fun,and take it in lighter vein..lol)

i also like to maintain an aqurium and collecting diffferent species in fishes also different stones for decoration and grass with marble quote.

Guppies, mollies, swordtails tends to breed rather easily. beware though some of the species eat their babies. Better to keep in separate tanks.
