My Tropical fish

I have been trying for months to be there at the right moment when one of my female swordtails was ready to give birth, and last night that happened.

I now have 33 baby orange swordtails, they are lovely, very large eyes.

I already have 17 guppy babies.

Also on thursday gone I went and added two sucking loaches to my tank and two paradise fish. I am now however more then ever having urges to up upsize my tank, I have 130litres at the moment, if only I had the room and time I would love to spend all my time with my fish...maybe this is the career path I should have chosen.

Whats id really like is baby neon tetras but I am told this is a difficult task as they scatter their eggs, how would I know when they were ready to do that, I dont know?

I also need to find out if all fish cycle through pregnancies at the same rate?
