Well, he got a little sneaky on me and had the darlings before I woke up. But, I do have at least one more that is expecting!!! I snapped a few pics though. Look close at the little white dots, that is them. I tried to get an adult in the pic too to give you an idea of how tiny they are. They adults are only 1 1/2 inches!!

At least 10-15 babies!!!!

Congrats on the babies Missy, hopefullythe other pappa will be a little more cooperative. Is there any special foods that you need to feed the babies?

I have to hatch brine shrimp everyday for all the ponies! As soon as they are born they eat what the adults eat. Once a week I decapsulate a bunch of brine shrimp eggs, then I hatch them daily. Not much work at all really. Takes about 5 mins a day to feed all my tanks. I enjoy it. Thank you for all the congrats. :bigsmile:

Awesome! thanks for sharing.

You're very welcome. All I have seen so far are pure white ones and 1 that is VERY brown. I know they will change colors and that is half the fun, trying to guess what they will look like as adults!

LOL....thank you!!! They are in a 2.5 gallon with a sponge filter. So easy to take care of. When are you getting your DT?

 

[uall8up]

Just thought I would give everyone an update...as of today I still have all the babies!! Just a couple of pics I snapped a few minutes ago

Hope you Enjoy!!

 

[BarbH]

Very nice Missy, happy to hear you have them all still they are so adorable :D

 

[uall8up]

Thank you Barb! As you can see the tank needs a really good cleaning. I was trying to give it a couple of days, so I guess tomorrow is the day. Super hard to try and clean with these little guys everywhere!!!

 

[BarbH]

I am sure it is, when I was raising fw platys I was always double checking and triple checking my buckets for any little ones that got siphoned up while cleaning the tank.

 

[uall8up]

That is exactly what I do. It just makes me so darn nervous that before I dump the dirty water I strain it. I would be horrified if I dumped one!!!

 

[BarbH]

I did have one time that I missed one and did not realize it until I had already dumped the bucket into the toilet, I felt so horrible :(

As soon as I find one on CL at a decent price that I like... but I am being picky also LOL I want 125-150 gallons on a black stand that is drilled... So until I find one I have my frag tank I am setting up in the garage to keep me occupied LOL

And Thanks for the new pics... Love them all!! LOL Now where to put a seahorse tank in my house.. hmmm :roll:
