Little Stinker!

The female that's still holding looks like she's gonna explode. Her mouth is so full, her throat's transparent, bumpy and lumpy -- I can see the little babies eyes through the skin of her throat, bobbling back and forth as she tumbles them. She needs to let them go; her stomach is all skinny and stuff. (sigh)

She let one of them out a couple days ago. Now she's bound and determined to hold these until eternity, apparently.

I have this whole strategy that I need to put into play, putting which fish into which fish tank, and it's ALL hinging on her letting her babies go.

The thing is, we're going out of town for the weekend and I just know that's when she'll let them go.

GAH!!!
