Females, Male and Babies.
The female fish that was acting oddly last night seems to be doing better tonight. I hope. God, please don't take a bad turn. She seems more active and isn't hiding anymore, those are good things.
The male fish has moved the small rocks from around the big rock (his cave) in his 5 gallon tank, so the bottom of the tank is bare right there. I guess that means he's moved in?
This morning I spent about 10 minutes putting a non-translucent white tupperware lid between the holding female's holding cells. The holding female that was due on 3/31/06 let a baby go tonight. She's still holding the other babies, I don't think she meant to let that one go. Even though the baby was in the little holding cell, she could see him and tried to get him back. Awww. The baby she let go is fully developed and swimming really well.
The little albino baby that I isolated a few days ago is getting stronger and swimming around more. It's really cute, though, because there are times when he'll just stop and sit on the bottom of his little holding cell and stare at me.
I have a confession to make, sometimes, late at night when all the lights are off in the house and have been for about a half an hour, I'll take a flashlight, go downstairs, turn the flashlight on and look at the little babies sleeping. They do sleep, you know. They point their little faces downward, some float in the middle of the tank, others rest on the top of the filter intake or on top of the heater holders. Most of them are resting on the bottom of the tank, it's just heart melting.
