We started out with 6 Endlers, 4 female and 2 male. One of the fish had 5 babies so then we had 11.
Last Thursday Garry spotted a brand new baby fish, only 1 hanging out near the plant, and we thought it was sad that we had an 'only child' until Friday night after Garrys farewell drinks in town when we came home and spotted first 1, then 2 new babies in addition to the first. When we got home from mums last evening there were a total of 4 and this morning we've woken up to a total of 9 new babies!!!
So much for the only child theory, I guess Endlers take their time, birthing new fry over a period of days rather than all at once.
