Adrien found another little fry (baby fish) in our aquarium this morning! I can't believe how tiny it is compared to the one we have. I told Adrien that one swordtail fish looked preggo but he didn't believe me... now it's this skinny little thing... I guess all the other babies were eaten... ;) I think I'm going to photograph is growth progression every week to show how big it gets...

Yay for new life!!

So do you separate it now from the other fish to protect it?

Yes, we do. What I should have done was segregate the mom until she had her babies so that we wouldn't lose any, but ya know, I'm not that ambitious! lol! But in December when we found another fry in the tank, we bought this little multibreeder tank that sits in the aquarium but keeps the babies seperated from all the other fish. So we've had that little one in there since December and it's gotten so big! So we put the new little baby in the same tank but then seperatd the tank in two because we worried that the bigger baby would eat the little baby... lol... anyhow... I'll upload pics soon. :)

The tank kind of looks like this one:

Fascinating. Have you done a page documenting the older one's growth?

lol... nope! I know, horrible... when it happened it took us off guard and we were just trying to make sure it didn't get eaten by our semi-aggresive fish... this one I'm definetly going to do it!
 
Sorry your house has had such a case of the sickies, but this sounds like a fresh start.
I can't wait to see the progression photos! How neat.
