Heh...little bugger!

I was over next to my 8.8 Jebo where I'm housing my Yellow Lab who's holding. I saw what I thought was a little flake of food scooting along the bottom of the tank (no substrate).

Upon closer inspection, I noticed it was a little baby! It swam around to the back of the tank where I'm pretty sure mama sucked it back into her mouth!

I'm guessing she's going on a month holding and the little baby seemed to swim OK, so tonight I'll strip her then put her back into the main tank for round 2!

Incidentally, I have another bumblebee holding! OMG I got babies coming out my cheeks! I've got about 20 blue and black striped babies already in the grow out tank (20g).

Now if only I get my Calvus to squirt out a few babies!

Not bad for a guy who knows next to nothing about fish LOL

Well you most certainly do know something about fish because otherwise they wouldn't be breeding! Nice job, Mith, looking forward to seeing the pictures!

[VoidParadigm]

Happy, comfortable fish breed. You apparentlly know how to make them happy, so I don't see what else you need to learn! =P

[Northernguy]

You have learned a lot!lolthumbs2:
lamo Just a thought,I imagined your expression when you first read that you had to strip a fish!:18:

A little secret....The fish already know how!:hmm3grin2orange:

Thats great. You take good care of your fish and they reward you. Nicely done.

Well.... I'm not going to profess to know anything (much) about fish! All I know is do regular water changes (I do about 70% when i change the water... LOL) and feed them (I over feed...sigh... LOL) and the fish do the rest.

I am running out of room! I have the blue and black babies in my 20g (with Herculies, the one without a tail)... and I have maybe 10-20 yellow labs (I haven't actually bothered counting them... yet...

My bumblebee is due probably in 2 weeks LOL... maybe I'll stick them in with the yellow labs!

Anywho... fun hobby eh? thumbs2:

In my community tank, I noticed one of the fish paying a little too much attention to one of the plants... then I saw a baby pop out... ROFL... the fish took after it and you never saw a baby run (swim) SOOO fast to get back into the plant!

He made it, but I don't know for how long... that fish was intent on eating it (which is fine, I have too many community fish now... LOL)
