Release.

I woke up this morning at 5 AM with the idea of releasing Momma #2 back into the main tank. She experienced some difficulty distinguishing between food and babies. So, she'd take food in her mouth and spit it back out, thinking it was a baby. When she spit her babies, I also noticed that she spit out a small rock. She's been tumbling that rock along with her babies all this time. My theory is that perhaps that rock threw her "sensation" off? I dunno. Neither of the previous two fish had the trouble she did in distinguishing food from baby.

Anyway, by late Monday afternoon, she started eating. Tuesday she was eating with a vengeance. I wanted her to be eating before I let her back in with the rest of the fish.
