OMG!!!!! I think my columbian sharks just had babies$@@%@%#@%

OMGGGG!!! I don't know what to do! Because, Breakfast (the mom) had her "mating" fins and was chasing Dinner (the father(?)) around and now shes skinny and theres eggs$@%@%@%#@%

idk what to do because they have never been bred in aquaria!!!

sorry for quick crappy pix. I'm freaking out!

wooww cool

I think it's because I ran out of salt and I haven't changed their water in 2 weeks tomorrow.
Normally every sudnay i change it

 

[BigO6687]

what ive heard may be the key to breeding many brackish fish is fluctuating the salinity as if its in their natural environment, switching from brackish to fresh and back or from brackish to salt and back over a period of a week or two

either way, good luck

that's probably why! because I normally do a freshwater top-off before the water change, but I did the top-off without the water change.
