When I was married we had a large tropical fish tank plus smaller breeding tanks etc. Now for the last couple of years I have a small tank with a few fish in
One of my fish has now given birth and so far 2 of the fry have avoided being eaten by their parents!! Let's hope they survive ![]()

Well my snail had babies all by itself. I had one snail in the fishtank and all of a sudden I have lots of little snails. Aparently they can breed all by themselves....... I'm the one your mother warned you about | |||||

My dads fish had babies. To stop them getting eaten he put them in a plastic pot and floated that on top of the water. I'm so fucking fabulous, i piss glitter. | |||||

Yep that's what we used to do when we had a large tank. We also had a breeding tank which was a tank in which the pregnant female was placed which had a V shaped horizontal partition with a slit at the bottom of the V. When the fry were born they fell through the slit into what in effect was a separate tank so the mother couldn't get to them. Then when they were all born she was put back in the main tank whilst the fry grew in the small tank. But that means that the small tank had to have its own heating etc, and I ain't got room for all that ^Thunder^ | |||||

Snails have both male and sex organs in their feet. In the absence of another snail they can do it themselves. Not much different to humans masturbating ^Thunder^ | |||||

Bloody ell (and BTW swordtails which these are normally give birth to dozens of fry at a time) The 2 I can see are maybe half inch in size now but now she has given birth to dozens of the buggers - all about 2mm in size at the moment, Unless they get eaten the tank will have a solid mass of fish ^Thunder^ | |||||
