Leviathan And Blondie

Wow, Synirr! Great job on picking the parents, the pictures... everything!

lljdma06 -- 2nd ball left of the tail on the right . The egg is completely clear by that stage, but you can still sorta see the outline of the casing and the fry is curled up inside. The dark-bodied ones didn't show up so well on camera because the flash doesn't pick them up as well, but if you look really close for tails that aren't attached to glowing white orbs you can make out a couple, haha.

And you're telling this to a person with -10.75 in each eye and an astigmatism? I'm not a good candidate for lasik either, which sucks, so I have to deal. Contacts help, but don't correct the astigmatism, which is really bad at night, or when I'm on stage. My glasses weigh a ton, even with the best plastic lenses and I have to buy frames from the kid's section. My only pretty pair of glasses were Harry Potter inspired, and they were lost at the O'Hare airport in Chicago. Now, I have yucky ones that don't fit right. (Everybody now, sigh of pity for llj, and cue distant, sad violin music ). So, I'll take your word for it, Synirr! They're there! They're really there! I believe you!

Need more pity, please.

EDIT: This is my 1750th post. This is the year the great Johann Sebastian Bach died. Great composer, very sad. Quick, somebody tell a joke or something!

Congrats, again Synirr.

I can't think of any jokes that would be funnier than what you already wrote .

Cute.

I like Bach, too. He is severely underappreciated in most circles.

EDIT: I guess I should say something about the babies, too. I've been watching and rooting for you synirr! I'm glad to see leviathon is being such a good father so far!

Hehehe, poor lljdma06
Fry are free-swimming and had their first meal today

Aw, CUTE little babies! =)

Congrats on another super-successful spawn, Synirr. The pair is really, really gorgeous!

Hey are they getting bigger, or are my eyes getting better?

Any more updates or pics???

nice pics too!

 

[fishykisses]

Congrats! Mommy and Daddy are Gorgeous!
Daddy reminds me so much of the late Kaden

 

[soritan]

I've never had an eye for baby pics. Oo To me, yours seem to be developing feet!

 

[Synirr]

LOL soritan! That would be a poo

 

[Synirr]

We're a little over two weeks old, yay
I see about three with crooked spines (that's a first), but I don't plan to cull since they're perfectly healthy otherwise. Hopefully I'll be able to adopt them out later. There are still around 100 fry, I've only seen two dead ones.

Crooked spine . This is the worst one, the others aren't quite this dramatic

 

[splashluff]

Aww, teeny little babies! They're going to be beautiful =0) I can't wait until mine are that big.

They actually look very nice for their age. Do you mostly feed BBS? I'm going to try mostly Attison's Betta Starter with one of my spawns and all live with the other, just to see if there's a big difference.
