Why do my baby fry look dead?
If you have fry that are not moving they most probably are dead. They should start to fungus fairly soon if you leave them in the tank.
Can you remove your betta male as soon as the fry start hatching?
Once they are free swimming remove the male.
How many fry will a red wag platy give birth to?
They can have 10-50 fry but you can never really tell. BTW they give birth to live young so immediately remove them from the tank and put them into a breeding tank.
How soon after hatching should you separate the fry from the rest of the fish?
I would separate them as soon as possible. Since they are so small they are easy food for the other fish in the tank.
How do you care for the fan tail goldfish eggs?
If you are prepared for the amount of work that goes into raising fry, then you will need to remove the eggs from the main tank into a shallow dish with tank water.Check the eggs daily and remove any that are not fertilized (they will become opaque) as they will grow a fungus.Once the fry hatch, you will need to feed them either fry food, or baby brine shrimp and be certain to clean up any uneaten food daily with water changes. Continue to move the fry to larger containers until they can be added to your main tank if you have the room.
Can tiger barbs eat their own eggs?
Yes. Barbs can and will eat their own eggs, as they have no parental instinct towards their eggs or fry. Barbs will generaly eat all of their eggs as soon as they are released, and then eat remaining fry once the eggs have hatched. For this reason, if you plan on bredding tiger barbs, you should place the female and a male in a breeding tank and remove them both as soon as the eggs are laid.
Do guppies have babies?

Were do you put your the goldfish babies when they are born?
Goldfish are canibals when it comes to their young and eggs. So if you want to keep ALL the fry, you can either: A: keep them in the main tank in a breeding box B: remove them entirely and put them in a separate tank solely for reading fry
Why do cichlid convict fry die?
Sometimes, fry aren't born complete, or born strong enough to live. This is true for all fish
How does the breeding net tank work with the fry I know they fall into a separate section of it but my question is do the fry need air because there is no air access in the bottom of the net tank?
What will happen is your fry, when it is born, will swim up to the surface for that first bit of air and then they will swim somewhere that they feel safe. They will swim through to the bottom part of the breeding net and they will come up for air if they need it. It is a good idea also to remove the mother from the breeding net as soon as you are sure that she has finished giving birth. This is to ensure the mother doesn't eat the babies.
I have got about 5 platys and 4 guppys in my community tank. Can i put my pregnant guppy into my separate fry tank when i already have fry in the tank will the pregnant guppy eat the other fry?
If the fry are small enough to be eaten by the female guppy then she will eat them. If your community tank is well planted and you have plenty of hidey holes that the fry could hide in but the other adult fish can't enter, then the fry would have a better chance of survival out of the breeding/fry tank. You could also buy another livebearer breeding trap they are very cheap. _______________________________________________________________________ Ya that right they are but you have to remember that what she said is true!
What happens if you get the fighter fish out to quick before he puts the eggs in the bubble nest?
You won't have any betta fry. The FEMALE betta is the one you remove right after spawning. The male stays in the fry tank until they're free-swimming.
