That's interesting...Diana...yours went a little differently than mine did...
my barbs and reidi both (quite literally) pumped out babies like clockwork every 2 wks when I had them. I had to change the photoperiod to get them to stop. Bad idea coz after that they never bred for me again after that
My barbs would throw 20-40 fry each batch, whereas the reidi averaged 250 per batch
