I have recently purchased some white cloud minnows, and now they seem to be getting really quite chubby round their belly...
are they pregnant?!
heres a picture of them http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cf...
I don't want baby minnows! what should i do with the fry if they are pregnant?!?
Answers:
Your minnows don't look abnormally fat so I'd say no. Keep checking for a gravid spot (which is hard to see in your minnows) but otherwise the babies will probably get eaten. ;)
you link doesnt work, maybe not public or something.
White clouds are easy to breed, but if you have other fish in the tank, your chances of getting babies is low. AS WCMs are egg scatters and other fishes will eat the eggs, as most egg scatters dont watch over the eggs.
WCMs tend to be one of the few thatdont eat their own eggs, but again if other fishes are there, the success rate is very low.
