Haustrum babies! Hooray!

Well I snapped a few photos of the lone little hatchling wandering the tank right now. He's terribly cute and so bright green! The haustrum babies are the pretties babies I've hatched by far. At least, this one little guy is. :)

Here's the setup. Mind all the styrofoam to keep the giant clumsy goldies from knocking over the breeder tank. It looks terrible, but it works. Also, the water isn't really that yellow- it looks that way because of the flash.

Baby is circled in blue.

Dark eggs are ready to hatch; bright green eggs are infertile; yellow eggs are rotten from being wet too long.

I wish they would keep that pretty spotted pattern forever, but as he gets older those spots will become stripes.

Enjoy! :)
 
truely fantastic, and cute babies.

may be you could try to hatch a different way so the eggs arnt sat on wettnes.
 
I am so jealous, SOB! They are lovely! I can't wait to watch the updates as the babies grow. Congrats and well done Flaringshutter! Their shells look phenomenal as well! So healthy!
 
I love the design on the babies. Congratulations.
