My baby!!!

I am so happy to say my little babies are having babies!



Around a year ago i started up an aquarium with the help of Tak and Wei. I have 40 odd fishes consisting of twelve different species in there happily swimming around. On most nights after a long day, ill flop on the couch next to the tank and just watch the little guys do their thang. It's so relaxing and it's become quite the little hobby of mine. Amongst them i always hoped there would be breeding pairs... and to my surprise, a pair has risen even at such a small size!



It's soo cute! That particular breed is a mouth brooder. Meaning they hold their fries in their mouth rather than laying eggs. So just imagine a fish with a bad case of double chin. That's how a pregnant fish looks like. Eventually she will spit out her fries.. and unless they act fast( or i act fast and remove them ), they'll most likely never see another day because they'll become dinner for the other fishes. Well... let's hope i'll be around during the spitting birth!


Can't wait to see the little guys! I'll post some photos of them in due time.
