Hey all... These are some pics that Candace took of Ades babies.... These guys were about the coolest thing I have seen in a long time... They were pretty difficult to get excellent pics but these came out pretty good... The cardinals could litterally fit 2-3 on the face of a dime... So tiny ...

I can not stress enough how small , and tiny these guys were... The cutest thing I have seen in a fish tank ...Ever! .. That hanging net basket you see them in is only a few inches by a few inches and they were dwarfed by it ... Hopefully some day I will have this type of success in my tanks ...

A sad day in the pen.
I thought that I would place an expecting pep shrimp in the same breeding pen as the cardinals. My thinking was whn she has the baby shrimp the cardinals would have food. Well as of yesterday I could only count 8, well when I came home from work today there are only three. I think that I saw a smile on the shrimps face.
Out the shrimp go and I know hope that the remaining three will have nothing to worry about.
It just tells you another thing about this hobby, you can not cut cornners anywere.

Ade , was really sad to hear about the Cards... I guess no amount of research and preperation will help in a case like this ... trial and error .... The good news is that you have 3 great little fish there and they seem healthy , outside of a rogue shrimp you have done everything you can to have sucsess ..... Keep us posted! ...

Well just to give you an update.

The three remainming babies are growing and holding there own.
Done a water change on the 33 today and fed the fish and the dad is holding eggs again. So I set up the 29 so that I could place the three to make room for the new babies in 24 days.
I read that it would take about 3-4 months before they would lay again, I guess that the female couldn't wait that long.
