15 wait 19 new babies
We have at least 15 new babies.
13 are safely in the breeders tank, and DH is busily trying to catch the rest.
It took us an hour and a half to catch the first 8, at that time we thought there were only 2 more, and we didn't want to stress the fish more, so we quit.
We then did a partial water change, and after about 15 after that was finished I noticed 6 more.
Wow.
LOL DH just caught 4 more, and found 4 more, so that's at least 17 babies.
Daredevil is living up to her name, swimming up to the python to check it out, and almost getting caught.
She's trying to get into the tank with the babies, but since she is swimming with the adults now I told DH to leave her out.
I better go help him, I'll let you now how many we have.
These are Red's I thought she'd given birth or aborted this morning, but we didn't see any babies until tonight.
I'm not sure if she's done giving birth, or if we interrupted birth with a partial water change (oops) but she's acting normal, just smaller. I can't imagine where those 6 babies were hiding while we were doing all of the moving around though.
Anyways, I'm off to help DH catch more.
If I'm calculating right Blue Girl should be due Sat!
Wow.
We might have to get a heater for our 10 gallon and get it going as a fry tank.
