Shell Dwellers and a few fry.

Here's a couple pics of the male:

This is about the best pic I could get of one of the babies, and of course a few dithers (WCMMs) made it into the pic. He's dragging around a thawed tubiflex worm:

You can see how tiny they are at about 3.5 weeks:

I'll post some pics of the female when I update the fry pics, she didn't want her picture taken tonight.

I hope nobody went blind from the last few pics!

Thanks aloaring!!!

You can why I never posted pics when I first saw them. Maybe by the 3rd batch of fry, I'll have figured out how to take better close-up pics!

Cool, what size tank are they in?

 

[cometcattle]

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments.

lovebuzz - The breeding pair are in a 10g, and the fry will eventually be moved to a growout tank, most likely my 20g long.

hmm...I dunno how I missed this thread

Great pics comet But I'm having trouble finding the babies They're probably right infront of my face but I just can't see them

arrr they are so cute and tiny i hope the daddy doesnt eat them!!!!!!!!!

 

[cometcattle]

Thanks Tara and Paige!

So far both parents have been great with the babies, but I am a bit nervous. I'm trying to keep the parents well fed. Before they ever came out of the mother's shell, she would spit food inside for them.
