So Many Babies

16 eggs total, 14 collected and separated (i dropped 2 on the sand in the tank and cant see them to collect them)

In a container with an airline and an alder cone. Now for the waiting game for 3-5 days to hatch

Solo with one of the smaller ones of the younger batch. The size difference is impressive. Solo is also getting the reticulated markings of the adults.

Fed baby brine shrimp for the first time today. Half the sparkling gourami fry are over the moon about it, gorging themselves... the other half are terrified of them! Bit comical lol

Still continuing with feeding baby cyclops, midge larvae, and infusoria for the younger ones and for the chickens afraid of BBS lol
 
The pygmy cory babies are super small!

And the set up for the fry right now...

10g is trilineatus, the square container is the sparkling gourami, and the cup is the pygmy cory.

However, I will be setting up the 2.5 gallon for these guys very soon.
 
Cool, I went to feed my platy fry and most of them came over to the side of the tank where I was, will have to take a picture next time I feed them. They are so tiny.

Platy fry are little beggars too!! They see you and expect food. Mine are little mooches.
 
I actually tweaked my "tower o' tanks" a bit more lol
Moved the pygmy cory babies to the 1/4g container the sparkler fry were in.

Ironically the sparkler babies have doubled in size, if you think they're tiny now lol

So decided to keep 3.

Solo, obviously.
One i named Blacktip.
And the one with the gimpy fin the 90s kid in me named Littlefoot.

Littlefoot is still too small to move over, but today, Solo and Blacktip graduated from the fry tank to their parents tank.

Solo is hanging out with one of the paleatus, so seems he has made a friend!
