To prevent the babies from being eaten you need to separate them from the bigger fish. You can put them in a baby fish separator that you can get at your local aquarium store, or you can put them in a small fish bowl until they are bigger with less chance to be eaten.

When fish have babies do they have a cord at the end?

Fish have a reproductive process that involves external fertilization, not live birth like mammals. When fish lay eggs, they are typically fertilized externally by the male fish releasing sperm over the eggs. There is no umbilical cord involved in the development of fish embryos.

When do you have to put pregnant fish in a separate tank before they have their babies or after?

Normally when you see that they are on the verge of having babies you would put them in a separate tank and then take the mum out as soon as she has the babies.


When can you put baby fish in with adult fish?

It is generally safe to introduce baby fish to adult fish when the babies are large enough to not be seen as prey by the adults. It is important to monitor their interactions closely to ensure that the babies are not being harassed or eaten by the adults. Providing plenty of hiding spots and space can help reduce aggression towards the babies.


How long should a baby fish be separated by its mother or Dad?

You should generally separate a baby fish until it is large enough to not be eaten by its parents or other fish in the aquarium. Some fish, such as mouthbrooders, keep their fry in their mouths until the fish are old enough to be released. Others, like Black Convict Cichlids, guard their babies and chase away any fish who gets too close. For these fish, there will be no need to separate the babies.
