Omg, Omg, Omg! Houstan We Have Babies

[snowyangel]

Daddy is running frantically scooping up the babies, but he's really lacking behind as i see atleast 25 babies sitting on the bottom of the tank and he's not getting to. Like i said before, during the spawning we witnessed atleast 250 eggs dropped by the female. Is this where some die off because dad can only handle so much? Or is he eventually gonna pick up the lots of fry on the bottom of the tank?
Worried about my wigglers,

Laura
PS: Pictures will come eventually, be patient.

Don't forget to feed the babies with Micro worms. They might die in hunger.... congratulations .

Thank you very much Wuv. Yes they're just precious, so much smaller then livebearer fry.

I already have live microworms waiting for little guys and gals. I thought you feed them food after the sack is absorbed and they start swimming horizontally?

It's amazing how good the dad does despite it being his first batch of fry, ya know? Amazing instincts these fish have.
