Entry: 4 new guppies! Wednesday, March 04, 2009



fish drama..the female with the big tail gave birth last night/early this morning. it began wth me spotting a dangling black thing from her anus. then realizing it was a tail, and that she was in labor! i spent time trying to google how long a guppy can be in labor for. but that didnt work very well..the internet was superrrr slow!
then about an hour later, i returned to the fishtank and spotted a fry hiding at the filter, and quickly netted it into the breeding tank! then this morning, i saw that the female was ALOT slimmer. and she was REALLY round before.
 i checked behind the filter and found another fry! which took awhile to rescue.. then my mother spotted another hiding in the corner, then after rescuing that one, i saw another dart from the gravel and almost get eaten by the purple tailed male!
right now the 4 of them are in the breeding tank, and the baby from last time is in the net, to stop him from harassing the yellow tailed female. which normally wouldnt be a problem, except she is pregnant and i spotted a red thing coming from her anus. so maybe he injured her!
the next pregnancy i am worried about is for the red female. i realllyyy want to see what her babies would look like!
right now she is REALLY pregnant, and it looks like she will give birth any day now. maybe i should transfer the fry to the net, and put her in the breeding tank and feed her till she drops her fry?
and i could put the male in the tub. or would it be too cold for him??

ahh problems. maybe i COULD get another fish tank....hmmmm!!!!!!


in other news, the marketing prof is not the old dutch guy! its this guy from lisbon! YAY. he is cool. sooo gladddddd.
