They just aren't newborn fry anymore, right?

They're very beautiful, especially in combination with each other.

Great pics! They are all so small!

How many of the fry from birth have actually made it this far?

once i've moved them from the main tank to their own, i haven't lost any. i've got more that are the size of the pic in a 10g tank and once i move those out i'll try to get most of the parents next batch, which i'm guessing is around 100. i'm sure i'll lose some of those. the other thing i want to do is remove some of the other fish from the parents tank, so i don't have to worry about moving them quickly or losing a bunch.

oh, i've rescued 18 of them and there are at least 2 more that size in the parents tank, i think they ate a bunch of the newest batch though...
