We have babies! Fish babies, that is…

Hey, small fry, whatcha doin down there?

We have 3 zebra danios and determined that at least one of them is female, and that one is carrying eggs.

Something as tiny as a fry is difficult to photograph, but my boyfriend captured this one that I then zoomed in on and added an arrow to point out the little critter. We have 7 or 8. Unfortunately when he discovered the hatchlings’ presence, he was doing a partial water change of the tank and siphoned one into the bucket. It then went down the drain… oops. He says by morning we’ll have 50 more. We thought the eggs would be eaten before they could hatch but apparently not, so the two of us are rather excited.
