My Fishes Had Babies. Help!

[barb-e]

I came home today from college. As I did a fish count to see how my mom had been doing care of them I was surprised to see two tiny baby fish swimming around! I grabbed a cup and scooped one out...I don't know if that was the right thing to do. I can't keep up with the other one. It keeps dodging me. I am thinking of resetting up my two gallon and keeping them in there for a while. Anyone have any advice for me? I have never taken care of baby fish before.

I reccommend buying a fish net or box. They sit on the side of your tank and have water to seep through. Only keep them in there for about 3 weeks, then they are big enough and strong enough to survive in the tank. Feed them baby brine shrimp (Very important) and crushed flake food.

Good luck!

Btw, what are those pets at the bottom of your tag? I love those!

...I cant actually remember where I got them, sorry. At the time, they were a trend on here and everybody had them. They've been in my sig for years. Thanks for the advice!

White Cloud Mountain Minnows. Their babies are actually blue which is interesting since the parents are just a pinkish color but I found some info online saying that is perfectly normal.
