This guy makes three. We're hoping he is a 'guy'. We've got two girls and it'd be neat to see if they make little baby Peas. 😍

you've got a 50/50 chance.

i cant get a photo right now, but when i get home ill edit this comment with a picture of my corydora runt, its much smaller then the rest of my cory fry, im not so sure why.

Pipsqueak shrimp molt :classic_biggrin:

(Pardon the algae build up on the glass).. I just happed to look into the tank at the right time to see this perfect little molt!  A fragile little ghost image of a shrimp. :classic_smile:  In just a matter of minutes it collapsed and drifted into the the water flow.  Sooooo neat.   😎

Not a great photo, but  I was excited to find these guys today: the first batch of fry from a mixed group of guppies I put together 4 weeks ago. I have no idea what these babies will look like when they grow up and will have fun finding out.

I also have surprise pipsqueaks that we’re left behind when I gave away the parents

I have Apistogramma cacatuoides babies! I've never seen fry of anything before (well, bladder snails...), so this is very exciting!

Mom and babies:

And a shot of Dad for good measure:

About seven weeks later, four of the Apistogramma cacatuoides fry are juveniles, slightly under half the length of Mom. I think they are all of the next spawn, though, so as soon as I see her in her cave again, they're getting evicted to a grow-out tank.

Here's one of them, with a partially eaten cucumber slice for scale:
