Well, I did a full water change yesterday and added a new sponge filter, cleaned the nasty bottom of the tank and removed the Java Moss because it was SUPER annoying. I finally got to count each and every little fry (*dies of exhaustion*), and guess how many I've got?!
352!!!
It's kind of overwhelming. Just to think that I now have 361 Bettas... is kinda crazy ^.^! I'm actually hoping that the count will be down towards 200 by the time they're ready to be jarred, hopefully the weaker fry will die and allow the stronger babies to grow even stronger. Then again, I have the means necessary for 300+ fry, so whatever happens happens. Needless to say, you can ALL have as many babies as you want!! LOL =0)
Here are a few pics from when they were about 1 1/2 weeks old. They're 2 weeks old today!!! Right now, they're munching away on BBS and MW's and I have noticed none dead or struggling since the water change, so they handled it well! Tough little kiddos! I'm so proud of their Daddy for taking such good care of 350 eggs! Poor guy. Here's the little stinkers
