Tilapia just let fry out of her mouth.
My female (I think) tilapia who has had fry in her mouth for the past week or so just let them out after I removed the male to another tank. He was beating up on her too much, so I took him out, and minutes later there were hundreds of babies in a school! I took away about half of them to put with the other hundreds of baby mosquito fish so that I could guarantee their safety. Now she's got the remaining back in her mouth and only 3, 3 inch clown loaches to defend them against. I've been waiting to see the tilapias succeed in this for a while now.

I just got home and turned on the light to show my girlfriend, and there are none left as far as I can tell. Oh well! Thankfully I put half into another tank to raise them. I will have to wait till next time to get pics. They were sooooo cute! I'll get some pics of the ones I have as I'm about to stock a new tank and them, and the other fry will be the first inhabitants.
