A Little Surprise.

I was doing a water change on my 150 today and as I was reading the paper,I saw somthing small shoot across the tank.I have a school of endlers in there with the discus,so I didn't think much about it.As I was filling,I noticed it again,and it turns out my longfin albino bristlnose's must have had fry.Tried for a picture,but they disapear in the gravel.I counted atleast four.Hope they make it,it's planted and has driftwood,plenty of hiding places.Thought I'd share.

isn't that amazing to find out you have more things in there? i happen to me too, i found out the 2 weeks ago, i 2-4 sterbai cory babies as big as tetra. i saw them spawn on sides of the tanks, did not think that they will hatch.

It's one of the cool things about having a large semi-community tank.With all the water-changes in the basement and with work,I had'nt sat and enjoyed the upstairs tank for awhile.It was cool to chill and try to spot fry.

Yep.While looking for fry,saw that my rabbit snails had some young'uns also.Was'nt sure they'ed make it with softer water,but I geuss they're going to prove me wrong.Something to be said about kicking back and looking at,into, a tank.Haven't done that for awhile.
