A nice surprise.

So a little over month ago I put a pair of these guys in my tank.

Well it appears they are now a breeding pair. I noticed that one was MIA the last few days. Now I know why. Have seen him/her guarding a patch of tiny tiny eggs the last day or so.

:D :D :D

Always nice to introduce some new genes!

Do you have any ability to save them once they hatch or will they go towards "Natural selection"?

Well they are all gone now.. so I am betting they became food.

I could collect them. When I have time to prpare food for them maybe. ;)

right now.. no.. lol
