Our two balloon-belly mollies decided to grace us with some small babies on Sunday morning. Here they are:
Pretty tough to see, huh? They are about the size of a pencil lead, and there are 22 of them. We have to contain them in a mesh net inside the aquarium. It took us about an hour to scoop them all into the net as they are quite elusive. Although it's a bit difficult to decipher their colors, we think we have some that are clear, black, orange, and spotted. Here is a picture of their home, followed by a picture of the proud mother (who coincidentally tried to eat her babies after they were born).
Erica feeds them ground up fish flakes with a toothpick 3-5 times a day. We really enjoy this method of feeding, and plan to feed our first child in the same manner.
