So, I'll have to admit. I've neglected my 10 gallon, while I've been getting my 55 to stabilize (plants, co2, etc.). But despite that, I found a little surprise this morning, my Swordtails just had fry. I'm pretty sure it's them cuz my Cory's would have laid eggs. I hope they make it, I've never had Fry before. I'm pretty excited. Here's some pix, just thought I'd share:

Thanks guys! I've counted at least five. They're hiding in the Java Moss and the Java Fern. Those little buggers are fast!

Lucky you.. both my swordtails have given birth in the last week, and I have failed to find fry both times. Which is kinda weird cuz the molly fry are fine...

Wow!! Very cool. Congrats :]
Super cool! You know, I have found that regardless of the ease with which one can have fish to release fry it is still SO rewarding.

Totally, it's one of those great side benefits of fishkeeping!
