MORE FISH!!!

Posted in Baby Stuff

Our fish was acting crazy yesterday.  She was swimming all over the place, really going crazy.  I remembered her doing that once before and I thought she was going to die.  I also noticed, yesterday, that her stomach was huge.  It looked like she was going to explode.  I thought, "Could she be having more babies?  Nah... that would really be impossible."  Last night when I was getting ready for bed, I looked in the tank, and there were babies everywhere!!!  We counted 15.  It was crazy!!! 

If you look just above the rocks, you can see tiny specks.  Those are the fish.  So whatever kind of fish I have can reproduce without a male and gives birth to live fish.  CRAZY!  I actually read that all fish lay eggs, but some lay them inside of themselves.  They don't actually give live birth. 

Here is a picure of how big our first baby has gotten.  He is above the mama fish in front of the heater:

I had to wake the boys up to see it last night.  I figured the fish wouldn't survive the night.  The mama fish eats her babies.  (D didn't even remember waking up and coming down stairs to look.)  There was still quite a few this morning, but now we are down to 3 or 4.  I guess it's a good thing.  What would we do with 17 fish in a 10 gal tank?!  We keep yelling at her, though.  "Stop eating your babies!"
