Their daddy still appears to watch over them, even with most of them in the net!

LOL. Actually there are quite a few outside of the net, and he does not eat them. :)

He's waiting for them to fatten up a bit!

[GeneralGoldeneye]

I have never had any of these fish but I would think they are like any other fish and eat anything that will fit in there mouth

[Gayle]

Yeah, they probably will, but that is why I have most of them in the net. I am going to probably use a divider in the tank to let them out of the net soon, then as soon as they are big enough I have homes for lots of them. :) If they make it that is. These are my first babies so I really was unprepared for them. Next time I will know better.
