We have babies

My husband and I enjoy aquariums. We both have different tastes in the types of fish we enjoy. he enjoys cichlids and I enjoy quieter community fish - like rainbows, barbs, etc.

ANYWAYS, here I was quietly taking a nap and he bursts in...HUN! Come see! We have babies!

I slowly (well actually with his help) got up (what can I say....i'm overdue to have our child), and trekked over to the aquarium and low and behold I find we have a whole slew of baby salvini cichlid. Clustered all over one of our rocks. With momma and poppa guarding them.

They are pretty good at keeping the other cichlids away from them ... one is better than the other. But then the one sometimes chases it's partner away too! So hey....it's like a bit of a war zone in the aquarium right now.

Unfortunately it means that we need to figure out a different set up for our aquariums...because right now it's a bit of a guessing game as to whether any of them will actually survive or not. Most of them will end up getting eaten by the other fish, and we'd rather have a bunch of babies so we might need to purchase another aquarium to keep our salvini cichlid's in. They'd be a nice little money maker for us in the long run. :) Nice to have baby fish! :)

Anyways, there you have it! One of these days you might actually learn what our child is .... but we are still playing the waiting game with that one!
