sonds like it could be a sign.
are they staying near the surface? or hiding away from other fish?
they shoulfnt eat to many if its only them in the tank. thats why i like endlers they dont eat there fry.

It is just the two females in the tank on their own now, last night one was shuddering and staying close to the ground and then to the surface this morning, i was half expectant last night but nothing so far. The other is still pretty active.

by **kizno1** on Tue Mar 02, 2010 5:53 pm

are they still having them or did some get eaten?

by **lilacamy931** on Tue Mar 02, 2010 5:54 pm

I have watched and cant see either giving birth to more but going to recheck now to see who the culprit is. They are young so not expecting many, off to check! YAYAYAY!

i would still think more than 2 about 10 or so i would have though. my female endlers is about 1" and had 13fry in here first drop.

hmmm they look exactly the same in shape and girth, have watched but both only decided to poop!!

any diffrence in the gravid spot that might help.

by **lilacamy931** on Tue Mar 02, 2010 6:06 pm

One does have a huge gravid so she is likely not to have given birth yet? or other way round and it is sign of giving birth? Very Happy

by **kizno1** on Tue Mar 02, 2010 6:09 pm

sounds like the second one then :]if you look really closely you should be able to see the frys eyes through the gravid spot.
