Very cute. Stunning fish you have too.

Well, she moved her babies to another location and it looks like I have about 50 fry that didnt make the cut. While it broke my heart to siphon out the little dead guys, deep down, i know it is unrealistic to think that all of the would survive. After all, they spawn so many to ensure survivors, not because they can

**update**

turns out my heater crashed. the tank temp dropped to 68 degrees and i think the rapid drop in temp is what killed so many. I have a new heater in now and the tank is warming back up. I can tell by the activity level that the cold water was doing something to em.

Are the others OK? What bad luck. So sorry

I still have a few that seem strong but most are weak and don't really swim. I fear that the damage done may have been to great to warrant survivors. But mom and dad remain strong and are taking good care of those that remain
