Hurrah again!

I have gotten the babies moved to their breeding net (a mini-box that hangs in the tank so Maria and Captain Von Trapp don't eat their babies. . .sickos. . .) and got the filter working again using the ol' take-it-all-apart-and-swish-it-in-the-water trick. Before I go back to watchin' the new babies, I am happy to present . . . The Von Trapp Family Swimmers!

They are so tiny I've had trouble counting exactly how many I was able to save, but it looks like there are somewhere between 12 and 15 in the net now! Hurrah! They look like tadpoles but, again, they're so tiny it's hard to get a good photo (they're a bit smaller than a shelled sunflower seed, hence why I missed them before). They do look like they'll take after Maria (the orange fish) because they all have wee black dots on their tails and while they're still pretty translucent, they're a bit orangish in the photos.

More updates to come when I have time. Welcome to the world, wee baby fishes!
