Fish Fry

I trimmed back my crypts in my low tech 10g. I have some baby tears (Plants I hope to use for some growd coverage) coming in this week and needed the light to get more to the bottom of the tank and to be able to get them in there and not get tangled up in the crypt. I aslo moved a couple of the ones that had dislodged and taken root in the middle of the tank.

So after I was done I sit back to look at my handy work and noticed some strange "Bugs" in my tank. So I get really close to the tank and low and behold I have fry. Tiny blue/black fish. All I have in this tank is white cloud minnows.

I know they had been doing some breeding behavior. The males try to act like Betta. Puffing up and getting very bright in the white areas but I didn't know any eggs were laid. I have three males and three females if you go by thier behavior.

I have seen three. Might be more but dont think so. I watched the tank for over an hour and never saw more then three together.

Had to add some of my hornwart from anouther tank to make sure they had lots of places to hide. Hope they make it.

Moving fish

Well I have been thinking about doing this for over a month now so Im going to do it later today. Going to take two of my more agreesive parrots to the pet shop. Move the other two with rainbows and pleco to my 30g. (that I am replacing with a 45 bow front in Dec.) And then move all my goldfish into the 75.
Hope to do this today when I get back from the doctors. (just rutine stuff at the doctors today no big deal.)
I just dont enjoy the parrot fish as much as I thought I would. On the days they are nice to each other they are great but all the fighting stresses me out. The whole reason I own fish is to help me relax in the first place. lol
With this move the goldfish well be next to the computer where I spend most of my waking hours.
Ill be leaving two snails and the cory cats in the 75.
