Activity level is increasing. Parents are yawning. And I'm exhilarated.

That's so cool. They are looking strong.
 
I'm going to post another video when my camera charges as there are about 10-12 now that mommy and daddy have to keep chasing lol. THey are determined to be swimming and not chillin in the sand.
 
Very cute. Stunning fish you have too.
 
Well, she moved her babies to another location and it looks like I have about 50 fry that didnt make the cut. While it broke my heart to siphon out the little dead guys, deep down, i know it is unrealistic to think that all of the would survive. After all, they spawn so many to ensure survivors, not because they can

**update**

turns out my heater crashed. the tank temp dropped to 68 degrees and i think the rapid drop in temp is what killed so many. I have a new heater in now and the tank is warming back up. I can tell by the activity level that the cold water was doing something to em.

Are the others OK? What bad luck. So sorry
 
I still have a few that seem strong but most are weak and don't really swim. I fear that the damage done may have been to great to warrant survivors. But mom and dad remain strong and are taking good care of those that remain
