Update:
This morning I checked my babies and was terrified to see that there wern't as many as there had been the night before, but on closer inspection my fry were simply exploring the tupperware box, and were more spread out, rather than sticking together in a bunch!...with a sigh of relife I...
many many thanks!! :)
I am managing to do tiny water changes in the fry box using a piece of tubing, which seems to be doing the babies good, but there is a lot of mess so I am doing these changes about 3 times a day just 1 litre at a time! The fry are getting bigger and some are getting darker...
Give it time!!! :)
I dident expect mine to breed, and so soon after they were in the new tank too...but breed they did!!...and the fry seem to be getting bigger evertime I look at them!!
Take a look at their underside vents, Kitty!!
a girl fish vent bulges out slightly, and a boy fish vent goes in (is concave)
Hope this helps! also female fish are genrally "rounder" than males!
We should get them together!!
Hermionie would show him a thing or two!! hehehehe!!!
I was hoping my two moor's would get together but my male moor is more interested in Hermionie and her sexy tail wiggle!
LOL!!!!
Gorgeous picci Kitti!!
When Hermionie was small she loved to hide in the tower...but when she got bigger she would bash against it, not realising that she was to big to get in it anymore!! My baby fish still like to hide in it though!!...My tower was the ornament that actualy got...
I would not havenoticed that unless I looked very closely!!
My Albus had a deformed tail, as one of the fans is bigger than the other, and he has always been like this too!!!...So I guess I have not bred any prize winning goldfish! LOL!!
Hi Kitti,
Wendy and indeed all your fish are so beautiful!! You obviously love them and take care of them very well!
May Wendy rest peacfully in her cave! Bless her!

Many thanks!!!:grinyes:
There is no filtration in the box but I am doing water changes using a plastic kitchen ladle and a litre clear plastic jug (takes me ages but I am sure its worth it) I am replaceing the water with freshly cycled water from my main 180 liter tank!
Should I use tap water...
I am not sure that this is in the right place but please move if not!
The day before yesterday my fantail fry hatched, that I have been keeping in a large shallow tupperware box on my coffee table! Now 3 hatchlings has turned into about 50 over night:eek:!!! Some are now swimming and starting...
