Answer 1

Congrats! It sounds like you are doing really well. They only thing I would suggest is to not leave the light on 24/7. Give them time with the light off, it's healthier for them. You don't have to feed brine shrimp, but it doesn't hurt them either. its just a nice addition to their diet, like the plants they can eat.

You can move them in with the parents when they are large enough to not fit in the adults mouths. There really isn't a time to this, just a size.

It's great you don't need to cull them. No need to remove any if all of the babies look good.

Best of continued success with the babies!

First dont get fancy with live plants, live bearers like alkaline water wich is ruff on most plants. Java ferns and java moss are good plants for this fish. Live bearers are not realy plant eaters so dont think there goldfish.WAit 2 weeks for the new born fry to develop then place SOME parents. I have a grow out tank where i keep all the teen fry with parents. Baby Brine shrimp is actualy the best food for fry. I feed mine frozen bbs becuse they have less parasites and are straight form the sea. Acourse it isnt true that if you never give your fry bbs they are never going to grow. it will just take longer and they will be weaker. (......)When live bearers give birth, osme times the mother will die from many causes. BUt look at all the babys you have :)

Hi Yes they can be raised easily. After the female is done put in a different tank. The began caring for the fry in the same way as you would guppies. Good Luck
