Serious here...
I've not seen anything "preggers" in my tank..but about 5 minutes ago, I noticed one of the mud minnows hunting "something" I had fed earlier, but with frozen, and I thought it was all gone..so of course I decided to watch.
Well...we'll never know WHAT it was, as it got eaten..but a fry of something came shooting out of the plants, in a sadly failed break for freedom!
NO clue...I have 3 female gambusia, but NO males, and they have grown 3 fold since I got them and were not(to my knowlege) pregnant. Those are the only real candidates...but again, no males?

Gambusia can store sperm for many months. They can become gravid even without a male in the tank.

Darn, I was thinking it was a miracle! :laugh:
