Breeding livebeares

If you're going to raise them to near adult size before feeding, you'll need more containers to keep them in if you want a steady supply. The fish aren't going to care if they live in a storage container, as long as it's big enough and has good filtration, so consider that as an alternative to spending more money on pretty tanks.I assume the water snake will eat 2-3 fish a day and does not eat anything else? Also, if this is a wild-caught water snake, what about breeding small frogs for it? Frogs will grow quickly too and they are quite prolific. Between the fish and frogs you'd be able to have a reliable supply of food and a little variety too. If you still have to supplement what you breed to feed him with live food from a LFS or bait shop, try some crickets and different sized worms too. Wild carnivores can't afford to be picky eaters.
hey there! I have both platys and mollies. My mollies have babies all the time but I have never seen them
because I am always gone when it happens! Mollies are SO easy! You just let it happen! You don't have to do a thing! and platys..don't know but I've heard that they have babies VERY fast also

oh yeah, if you want the babies to live i suggest buying a floating breeder or netting all the babies and raising them in your 2.5
Thanks.
THe snake was wc, as it was found as a neonate, paralysed from the neck down. I initally had to massage it to allow it to have a b/m, and over time, he is no longer paralyed. He didn't eat for 4 months, and is now very smal for one year old. He'll eat about 10-15 large minnows a week.
