These little cuties are still doing GREAT! They're just big enough to take the smaller members of my grindal worm culture now and they are adorable swimming around with Mom watching over them.

These guys and the tank next to them are the only tanks not getting moved this weekend - I have to feed them multiple times a day and we're not moving ourselves for another week.

I have to say, I really enjoy the parenting behaviors of the female.

Well, two tank moves and I can say there are at least 5 of these guys left. Not great, but better than I thought would happen when we moved and then had to shuffle everyone around. They are slow-growing but do look just like miniature adults and they eat like little piggies.

Nice! My (surprisingly young) pair spawned again and the fry are about that size they are starting to eat and not many of them have been eaten or died.

I have 8 of these guys who survived both tank moves. I'd like to keep a few, but can't hang onto all of them. The largest are about 1/2" in size. Is there anyone with particular interest in these (I'd better not see them up for sale in a week... just sayin'). They are definitely not sexable yet, but they are cute, have massive appetites, and their growth-rate is picking up.
