I have one male swordtail and 3 female swords. I just looked in the tank and their is a baby fish swimming in there. I'm new to having baby fish in my tank. This is my first one. I noticed the male chasing it once. Will they eat their young and is their any advice to anyone can give to a first timer of this situation? Thanks.
 
They will eat their fry so if you want to raise them, you should take them out of the tank if you don't want them to end up as dinner. If you have a lot of hiding places some of the fry might make it to adulthood, but its unlikely. Look up livebearer fry on this board and google and it'll tell you how to raise them.
