My multies are breeding! Colony of 10 in a 20 long. I noticed the fry a few days ago. So exciting!
I've been including a bit of fry food with the normal food at feeding time - GP, NLS fry food, growth meal, and decap brine shrimp eggs. Is there anything else or different that I should be doing?

Thank you! It's the first time breeding a spawner for me, only have bred live bearers before.
How large are multie spawns usually? I counted 6, but more could be hiding.

They only have a few at a time due to their size usually anywhere from 6 to 10 babies.. But they breed prolific.. In as a few months you can go from 6 fish to 20.. I swear these fish will breed in a mud puddle.. Congrats on the breeding..
