If I didn't already have Swordtail babies in my 20 gal, I'd plop her in it and start raising cichlid babies! LOL

That is a great shot Mith. You could always strip the fry out or put a divider in your sword tail fry tank & put mom in till she spits. :ssmile:

LOL!! Your fish must be happy in their environment to be producing all these offspring for you! :shappy:

I can see where this is going to be a problem. I have two other swordtails that are pregnant along with two bumblebee cichlids, that blue cichlid and I thing my yellow cichlid's holding..........this is getting rediculous!

Congrats Mith! That is an awesome shot.

In my cichlid tank I have 5 holding females. Used to be 6 put I stripped one about 3 weeks ago. I think I am going out this weekend for another 10g and 20g long. :help:

Beautiful shot, Mith! Yep, that's what cichlids do best!!! If you start saving the babies, you'll need more tanks and then more tanks. :hmm3grin2orange:

Take a look at this video Mith.

I'm quite anxious to get some cichlid babies! Not that I don't love my swordtails, but It would be more gratifying to see the cichlid babies grow up!

Well once my "quarantine" tank's done with the baby swordtails that I have in it now, I'll start catching my cichlids and stripping them!
