Julies have had babies :-) #1

Saw some small things bobbing about in the Tang tank while I was having my tea. On closer inspection it seems a pair of my Julidochromis transcriptus have had babies

They're minuscule! Very hard to spot and I think these few just became free-swimming this evening so there may be more yet

They are so beautiful. How did you manage to spot them, with them being so small?

Congratulations to Mum and Dad.

Re: Julies have had babies :-) #5

We were eating our evening meal and watching TV, but the tank is to the right of it and I usually spend more time watching that than what's on "the box". I just saw some specks in the water moving in an odd manner, and sure enough when I checked more closely it was babies. They're only about 2mm long at the moment
