My betta Lucifer LOVED eating fry that escaped the breeding trap

[iElBeau]

Lmao. I'll remember that in case one of my fish/guppies decides to lay eggs :P

[xShainax]

They give birth to live young

[iElBeau]

Omg! News to me! You just have so many little tidbits of interesting info eh? :P

[xShainax]

Lol. They are known as livebearers

[iElBeau]

Wow. I wonder how many babies they have at once? ... I'm so curious :P lol

[iElBeau]

Oh another question!

The guppies seems like an okay idea, but as I read online, it says they nip fins :/ is this true of both genders, or just the males? In other words, will a female nip the long fins of my betta?

Also. Cherry Barbs. Are they ok? It says they're schooling fish and I'd need a minimum of 5 on wikipedia (ok, probs not the best source). But I could do 5 or 6 I suppose. And they're apparently peaceful... I could get all females. Is that ok? I just want female fish anyways. Comments on this? Thanks!

The males are more fin nippy than females :) and I never tried with barbs

[iElBeau]

damn. that means females might still nip :( I want to come as close as possible to eliminating that possibility. My poor betta has had his fair share of fin problems.

EDIT: A couple websites are suggesting 20G for cherry barbs. :(
