I Have Fish Babies........

by KACKERS @ Tuesday, 22. Jan, 2008 - 12:27:47

Last night I went to move my big rock to start a good old tank clean... and out from underneath swam 4 baby sunset platy's!!!

One is about half the size of my little fingernail, immediately called Nemo, and the other 3 were really no more than dots with tails.

After emergency texting my fishy guardian angel Jenny, I put the rock back and watched the babies till the i-light went into moonlight mode.

This morning, there was no trace of any babies, but 2 of my Oto's have doubled in size over night!!!

They looked guilty so maybe they have eaten them as I disturbed the babies last night

I am secretly hoping that when I get home tonight and the i-light is in full daylight mode that I may still see Nemo swimming about in his secret place, but I am not overly hopeful!

It was really a night of totally unexpected excitement, and whilst it lasted it was lovely!

So fingers crossed that Nemo was too big to be eaten by the Oto's. I am hoping he was too big to be swallowed......

I am just so excited as I never knew the world of fish keeping held so much drama.......
