My fry are Gone!!
One of my swordtails recently gave birth. within the last 24 hours, and i cant find the fry at all. how big do they start at? and is it possible they were sucked into the filter?
the bobber mirrored the setting sun as it nestled into the distant clouds......the rippling wave whispered for my readiness as a fish teased the hook...This Is LIFE!

The chances are excellent they were eaten. They could be in the filter.

The bad news: Livebearers eat their young.
The good news: Livebearers breed like rabits, you'll have more fry VERY soon!

If you don't separate them they will be eaten thats why I keep pregnant live bearers in a breeder box until they pop and then remove the mother. If your filter is really strong they could have gotten sucked up in there.
