A. it depends i don't know exactly but mine seem to have between 5-10 each and only about half of them live for the best results you need a breeder nursery you can find them on-line that have a air powered filter for really cheap or you can go to wal-mart and get a net breeder (the same thing but without the filter) for 3.99 and put the mother in there and as soon as you see the little babies get the mom out or she will eat them! then they will have to stay in there for a month or so till they are big enuf to be with the big fish and yes there live and really small so be careful with them. good luck.

When do Babies start to sleep in their Crib?
Q. How old is it safe for babies to be put to sleep in there cribs? Im getting so many diffrent answers. I also have hearing monitors and the Angel Care heart/movement monitor so she will be safe in her crib.
Asked by Giatoronto - Wed Nov 5 23:16:56 2008 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is entirely up to you. They are safe in a crib from day one, although some parents (especially nursing mothers) prefer to have a bassinet close to the bed for easier access for nighttime feedings. I put my first son in a crib at around 3 months because that was how old he was when we moved, and since we already had a crib I didn't see the need in bringing a bassinet that we would only use a little while longer. With my new son, he is 5 months and still sleeps in the bassinet at naptime sometimes. It is entirely up to you to decide when they should go in the crib

What age are babies supposed to start babbling?
Q. When are babies supposed to start going bababa, mamama, and dadada?? My son is 6 months old and will only say ma, ba, ga, and da. He doesn't string the sounds together. Should I be worried?
Asked by Mackenzie B - Fri Mar 7 13:26:43 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. your son is right on target. my daughter has a therapist that monitors her development... she is over 8 months old and her therapist said that the single consonant/vowel combinations are right where she needs to be at her age. some babies, of course, will be stringing the sounds together sooner than others but anytime up to 10 months (even 12 months) is totally normal.
