Cool! Be sure to get momma out of the trap quickly...I've had bad luck with livebearer traps as the fry tend to swim back up and get eaten by momma...

Also you will need to crush your flake food for the fry, or get them some "fry" food. I personally don't bother with the fancy fry foods, I simply grind all of my flake food down to manageable size and feed it to them all, adults, jouvies and fry.
Congrats and good luck!

Cool, that's a decent sized drop.
Do you have line bread or colony bread stock?
I have found with my colony bread Endlers Livebearers a lot of the fun is in watching the fry grow and start to color up. It's cool to see the colors deepen day by day and you never know what you are going to get!
