well apparently as Tanker noted in General Freshwater, Love was in the air this past weekend. SE Texas, Houston area predominately had really awful storms, where you were either under Tornadoe, Flash Flood, or Severe Storm Warnings/Watches all weekend...Though the Pasadena area didn't see too much of it, we apparently saw enough to get all of our fishies to be in love...

Yesterday, as I was helping Leslie do her weekly water changes, we noticed that she had quite a few eggs, and since the only thing in the tank is Hasbrosus well, we know what they are...Today again there were more, and the *cough*Little Lady*cough* of the tank was driving the guys in the tank insane

Tonight when I was doing my nightly feedings and headcounts, I sat and watched/enjoyed the 125 when suddenly I see this flash of movement Well, ya'll guessed it, I have fry Corydora fry to be exact I sat and watched till one of the big mean albinos came and swam way too close and the little guy yes, i know it's too soon to call it guy or gal, but for some reason I refer to them as guys, while the guppies are gals:%) took off and hid...I saw a lot more sudden movements that I couldn't quite pinpoint the cause of so I'm sure there are more in there...He seemed to be only 6-8 mm so I'm sure he is a newborn, probably my guess from this weekend though he could be a little older...who knows, after the water changes I've been doing they have a right to be friskyand again I know it is too soon to truly tell what type of corydora he is, but he looks more Schwartzi (sp?) than metae, and I know I've seen quite a few metae fry to have some idea, though this one could surprise me even more than he already did...

Anyways just thought I'd share my happiness of love and friskiness in the laird household's tanks...

Congrats on the cory fry

...and no, love is not in the air...it's in the water

...Don't drink the water

Good point pancake, it's in the waterwe used to say the same thing when I worked at the water purification plant, there was more love there than anywhere else:%)really makes you wonder what is in the water I can't wait till they get big enough that I can easily see them and not just see the quick movement that I have to hunt for

Congrats on the cory fry!!!! they sure are cute- and you cant have to many cories

I woke up this morning to find the remains of what I presume were Panda Cory eggs on the front glass. Which probably met their demise courtesy of the Lemon Tetras. Or the snails.

Which means that they were being all frisky and energetic during the night. Hmm. Interesting.

Next time, I shall look and see if any are laid on the front glass again, and try and save them. CAn't have too many baby Pandas.

heck my gals seem to be laying them in the coconut and on the driftwood area, so they just keep coming, not tons at a time, but plenty
