I'm a daddy!

I'm so happy!

I was just casually looking at my tank from a distance now and I suddenly saw 2 little moving things. So I rushed over and behold before me, 2 baby sailfin mollies!!!
And they’re not new born, more like a week or 2 old, because the one is already getting colour on its body.

Ok, so I know this might not be that exciting, but it’s the first fish born in my new 600l tank.
And all along I thought my male sailfin molly was sterile, because he does allot of showing off but nothing happens.
But I think these 2 are the 'survival of the fittest' type, because if they really are a week or 2 old, this means, they've out manoeuvred, a water change, the high flow rate in my tank as well as the external filter which could easily get them. Out ran my giant moonlight gourami and the 2 honey gourami. I find it rather awesome.

I tried to get a picture of the 2 to show, but I found that cameras only want to focus on everything else but tiny little fish, especially when the co2 bubbles are around.

So here is a half in focus picture of the one

 

Congrats daddy.

 

Hehe, congrats! Its TIIIINY!

 

lekker man

 

Definitely gonna be a pair of tough Mollies them two, like Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee!

What colour are the parents?

 

Male is white, female could either be black, or white, or orange.

 

Congrats man!

 

Grats, Grandpa! Hope they grow up strong!

 

nice - start saving for school fees :wink: MTS will get you in the end ..

 

Back in the day i had rather bad MTS. think it was 5 tanks. then i moved, and well everything got condensed.
But i currently have plans to get together a small 60L or 90L for a guppy only harem. i just feel like breeding them.

 

Congrats, always a charge when you get some unexpected new arrivals.

Man, you don't know what MTS is till you got 10 tanks, and you're still looking for more. AND the ol' Lady's threatening to leave if any more tanks come into the house!

(Hmmm... if she does... there'll be space for even more tanks... Nah! I'll miss her too much)

 

congratulations @Phinix. May there be plenty more.
