so if you don't read this for a few weeks of course we understand, but the other night, i found a mystery fry in the tank. i can't tell if s/he is 1 month old and undersized due to lack of food in the big tank, or if s/he's a week old and actually ever so slightly larger than it's siblings. the 1-month-olds are yellowish while the 1-week-olds are currently fairly clear with some black on their fins, while mystery fry has a black anal fin and a tinge of yellow on his tail. only time will tell, i suppose. he's in with the 1-week-olds though, because the 3-week-olds would give him quite a time.

      she wasn't moved (besides when she was moved into the net, after she started passing eggs) except for 2 weeks prior. she is currently absolutely fine, but we will see how everything goes in 3 weeks when she drops again. or is scheduled to.
