Mia Has Babies!!!

Baby fish that is! After laying dormant 3 1/2 years, the fish tank is back in action. We're doing a live bearing tank, which means we only have fish that birth live babies or that won't hurt any of the babies born in the tank. At the moment, we have Swordtails, Platys, and Guppies. Since the tank has only been up and running about 2 weeks now, we had a pleasant surprise this morning when we saw some baby fish hanging out in the rocks and grass.

Mia is very excited about having new pets and especially that she is no longer the youngest in the house.



Look about 3/4 of the way down and right in the middle of the picture below. See the orange dot on a green rock between two red rocks? That is a baby fish. We're not sure what kind yet, but probably a platy.

Sorry about the blurriness of the picture, but these guys are hard to catch on camera. We've seen at least 3 different babies, but there are probably more that are less adventurous and hang out only in the grass.
