Hello Everyone,
So I have had fish since I was about 8 years old and I have always been passionate. Know at the age of 16, I have decided that I want to breed. I have done tones of research on fry and particular breeds of fish, but I have decided to start slow and get my experience up. I am starting to breed Mollies and Fancy Guppies that I will hopefully be able to show when I develop some lines. But I have a few questions:
1) The question that practically every livebearer breeder has...When will she drop! I have a Black Lyretail pregnant female and she is extremely round. I think she will drop in the next week or so. What are some signs that she is going into labor?
2) When showing Mollies or Fancy Guppies...what are they judged on? Obviously their fins, but what about them...?
Also, any other information that people are willing to give would be great!
-Thank you
