My partner bought this fish and a few days after getting it home it gave birth to babies! We were not expecting that! So now I'm wondering is she pregnant again? image.jpg

this fish will hold sperm for up to a year, so she may have gotten all the babies out now, but it is def normal, and possible for her to hold that sperm all year and produce babies every month or two. very beautiful endler though

Thanks! She kinda creeps me out! How often should we expect her new arrivals :)

every month or so, but this is only if this fish is healthy and is the tank is kept at pristine condition, bad water quality will keep them from breeding and giving birth

She's just had 4 fry the other day, all survived and that's my first fish that we have ever had babies, pretty exciting as I had no idea she was pregnant!
