Unexpected babies

[bmxer4ever]

Well unfortunately they died over night but if we have more I'll remember what you two told me. Once I get my other tanks at my grandfather's house I'll have one only for event's like this. Would an Oto Catfish accidently eat them if I kept it in the tank?

No problem, one word of advice though. You've got to wash the mesh every week or so because algea builds up on it much faster than it does on the other tank surfaces. My pleco was on it, and if he managed to rasp a hole through it, I'm sure I'd have very few or no babies left.

Catfish will not eat livebearer fry, bettas will. Stick a bag of java moss in there and problems solved.

Not saying he would. If a pleco rasps a hole into the mesh, the point of the mesh is negated, no? Babies could get out, adults could get in. My platys would make short work of those portable snacks.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm not like all you other fish people with every supply you could possibly have. I need to start stocking up on things, so if I ever have more babies in there they'll have a chance at life.
