Another Baby Gone.

Last night, I noticed one of the babies acting oddly, going up to the rear of the tank behind the water intake. I crouched down and looked up to see the baby pecking at an albino baby that had died. (sigh)

Just like The Wobbler, this one had no eyes. I had thought it odd with The Wobbler, but I guess this is what aggressive fish do to each other when they die? I felt so bad. I reached in and netted the dead baby out as fast as I could.

I hope it's just a case of the stronger shall prevail and not something to do with the tank. I believe the dead baby was part of Fry #2, the same fry that The Wobbler came from, the same fry that the mom tumbled a rock with them.

Little baby, rest in peace.
