Hi ! All,

I was just wondering what the proper term/name for the babies born to

a single livebearer female at the same time? Would it be brood? My

livebearer tank is filled with babies hiding in the floating plants

but they are different sizes so I figure more than one female is

involved. When telling people about this I am at a loss as how to

describe the different "groups." I mean if my dog had pups it would be

a litter, what's the term for fish???? Thanks.
