Fish Fanatic
Allright, so I found a bunch of several day old danio fry in my bucket when I was doing a water change so I saved 13 of them. When I went on vacation and couldn't feed them 9 died, that leaves 5. I decided that 5 weren't worth taking up my 10 gallon tank, so I transferred them to a net thingy in my main tank, Last week I tested one in the water to see if it was old enough to survive on its own yet, it survived 1/2 hour, then I couldn't find it
That leaves four. I think one got out of the net because I could only find 3 in it today. Now they were like at least 1cm old and I thought that they could fend for themselves so I let one of the bigger ones go. He swam and got chased by the danios and neons for about 15 seconds, and just when I was going to rescue him, he found shelter right in a clump of live grass, right in front of my female Gourami. he was like right in front of her and she didn't even move, just sucked him up
Now I have 2
For a brief second I thought about taking the gourami out and trying to make it spit up the fry, but then I realized that what was done was done and my idea was stupid
. I figured I'd be able to save it if it looked endangered, or at least, I never thought that SHE"D eat it! She barely moves. Alright, I guess I'm alright now, I had to tell someone, and I was so appalled at how she just sucked him in with a suck of water, after I thought he was safe and I could net him.
