djrichie Big Fish Rough but Honest [img]htt Posts: 366 Kudos: 309 Votes: 45 Registered: 29-Jan-2007	I just opened my canister filter and found a surprise. 6 Celestial Pearl Danio fry alive and doing well. Not sure how they got there because I put a sponge filter on the inlet 2 months ago. They are not ones that went missing I have the same number as before, So I guess I had babies and didn't even know it. Now my problem is were are the rest of the fry. So I must assume the eat there fry. Djrichie "So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish" Douglas Adams

The most unusual find was a tomato seed that had started to germinate. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
