Unepected visiters in my tank...

Hello every1,


Last Tuesday I set up a 10g for dwarf puffers that I plan to get. I went and took some gravel, plants & water from my 26g bow. And the filter from my 5g. I have been keeping it going by putting fish food in it every other to keep it going.. My plants have been doing good. Well today I come home from work and was looking at the tank to see how much my plants have gowning. I saw something that looking like it was floating in the water and was wondering what the heck was floating in my tank. So I took a closer look and notice that there was morefloating around. To my surprise I have about 8 little fry in there swimming around. :shake: Well, I guess they will put a hold on my getting my DP's soon....

Well, If I would have to guess I would say my black neons. I was checking everone out in my tank one day a few the other week and I kind of thought that one of them looked a little fat. But it's so hard to tell right now.. the are SO SMALL it's like looking at very little chips of glass with two little black dots...

I had that problem when I set up my 5 gallon hex for a pair of dwarf puffers. I left a guppy in to cycle and she must have been preggers, etc.

Of course, not that big of a deal for me. I scooped what I could and dumped them into my dad's African tank. I missed one, and he's grown up with the puffer. I figured they would have done away with him way back down the line, but nary a nipped fin.

I've decided no more feeder guppies. My crays don't eat them fast enough to keep up with their breeding, and they breed constantly!
