They really do look like they have a box inside. The last one to deliver was the biggest. I think she may be a bi-weekly dropper as there are still alot of fry eyes inside her. The black one who went first was the smallest of the 3 and I didn't know she was close. I thought she had at least another week.
Now I know the dates I'm gonna be ready next time.
I also changed everyone around. My 3 adult males, the cherry barb and 3, 6 week old males (no gravid spots) are in the 1 gallon. Just wondering if I should do a complete change in it every day? It has no filter. They are getting a bigger tank ...I'm hoping within a month. Money is a bit tight right now.
My 3 adult females and the 6 week females are in the 10 gallon along with all the new fry. I think there is approx. 40 or 50 tiny ones. I would love to take the momma's out but I have nowhere to put them and under no circumstances are they going back with the boys. I'm hoping to be fry free in a few months. The 4 neons are in the 10 gallon too.
On Saturday we went into Corpus and stopped by a Petco. They have the most perfect fish tank. 100 gallons. I really want it. But it is $400.00. Hubby said no :(. But he did say we can get more tanks but he wants prettier fish. He also wants a saltwater tank ;) Now I just need to find a decent place to buy fish. I did look in the phone book and there is an all fish place somewhere in Corpus. Just gotta find it now. Oh and get some money. Oh and some more tanks. I didn't get the test strips as I still don't have enough money. But I haven't had any fish die in 3 weeks. Just a few fry that got sucked up the filter.
I must be doing something right as none of my girls have clamped fins like previous ones I've had.
The egg is done and so I have to go feed the tank with the babies. I'll be back. Thanks to all who have helped me to get my fish this far. I think this week I've had the tank for 8 weeks. I had this all written up and ready to post last night when my little girl hit some buttons and it went away. I don't know where. Maybe outer space.Oh well. Now I really have to go feed the fish and my little girl. She's digging in the fridge again. I'm glad fish aren't as impatient.
