  • Waiting for babies!

    The 3 platies I bought a month ago and about 12 of my female guppies all should be ready to drop young right now but so far no babies! They'll probably all drop the same day and then I'll be like this guy! :ertrink:
    Guppies:
    Hi-fin pepper Cory's, Black Cory's, Long Fin Golden Aneus, Swordtails, some lyretail(RREA's, Red, Albino Koi, Red & Gold Tux), Different types of BN plecos(albino, calico, long fin, blue eyed short & long fin)
    Mystery Snails, Yellow Shrimp, CPDs

          So, a week latter and the only babies I have are the 8 I mentioned above. Everyone still looks pregnant. We're supposed to have thunder storms for the next several days, maybe that will trigger them to drop!!

                  Those 4 pictures were the result of 2 hours of work and probably 100 attempts!

                        I know that feeling but when you get the picture it is worth it.

                            Sometimes takes me longer to go through all the pictures I take than it does to shoot them..

                              Well we got the thunderstorms. And everyone is still pregnant! However the catfish spawned. I have over 100 eggs now to see if they hatch! :) Catfish are C. paleteous(?) longfin/hifin
