They should have fat little tummy when there geting enough. I havent had a problem with others bulling smaller ones. They ramge between 1cm and 6cm but i put so much food in they all get some. I spread the food out alot aswell so its not like one can clam a big pile.

Awwwwww ^_^
I bred fish once. Well it was on accident. We had 3 Sunburst fish. One died and the other two mated. They had 21 babies and 3 days later both parents were dead. We put the babies we could find into a smaller tank but mom made the mistake of an under-gravel filter and most of the babies got stuck in the rocks and died. 3 survived and, once again, when they got bigger they bred but only had 5 babies that we could find. Mom let the adults eat them and I was preggie at the time so I cried super-hard for the grandfishies of the ones we originally bought.

Thats a shame. Whats a sunburst fish? The only thing i can think of is a platy but it could be something different.
Are they these

I used to have a pure red group of them.
I cant stop these breeding they have about 100 fry every 3 weeks but they seem to be slowing down now because the tanks getting a little crowded but they will have a 150G soon so sure they will start up again.

Looks into the camera?
It could be my male apisto the big is one. He is stunning but the camera doesnt catch it. My profile pic is a better pic of what he looks like in person. Hes my favourite out of all my fish it will be a shame to see him go.

They are stunning fish. Hes a Apistogramma Agassizii which are my favourite type. They come in fire red aswell which looks stunning.
Unfortunately he doesnt fit into my plans for the 150G and would get bullied in there so im going to have to sell/give him away

Yep, that's them. Mine had the bright yellow tummy that faded to the dark orange just before the black fins, no spots or anything. I noticed one day one of them was getting fat with a bit of a red cluster in her and I'm like "Ummm....I think this one is pregnant" and sure enough, mom didn't believe me but I was right. We didn't get any more because once my son was 1 year old he killed them all :/

Thats a shame. They are nice fish. I was thinking about getting some for my 150G as dithers but now im getting the lima shovelnose they would disappear. The only problem with them is if you dont have preditors in the tank you will get over run because they are livebearers so give birth to live young not lay eggs and they can have about 50 fry every month.

It can be frustrating at times, especially with the wood and all!

Yeah that was the problem every time you get close to one it would dart to the other side of the wood and by the time you lifted the net over that it was gone.

I've never been netted myself, but I don't think I'd sit still for it!
