We have BABIES!!!

Yes, the Anderson family has added more to it's household!  Last night we discovered two baby guppies. Baby fish are called FRY. So we have two fry from our recent purchase of guppies. Right now they are too small and fast to get good pictures of.  We have started feeding Tera Brine Shrimp to help add protein as both moms and babies need it. http://www.amazon.com/Tetra-Baby-Shrimp-Dried-Gammarus/dp/B00025K0XK We still feed our regular flake food as well. Our tank tends to get over fed. There are several reasons for this:
1: We let Cody help with the feeding. :)
2: We have a snail and an sucker fish that need something to clean up.
3: Multiple feeding keep them from being bored and nipping on fins.
4: Gives the babies better chance at survival if the adults are full.
5: They are FUN to watch eat!

I have not yet been able to figure out who the mother is of our two fry. However, we have several that look to have babies soon! (We hope)
