I can't believe it. This morning when I got up, I checked on my fish tanks. I had 27 fry in a floating breeder box in one of my aquariums. I didn't have my contacts in, so when I first glanced, I thought it was weird that one of my bloodfin tetra's looked like it was IN the breeder box. That's because IT WAS. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY BABIES WERE GONE!!!!! =( There was a 3 week old white mickey mouse. 8 yellow mickey mouse's with red fins just starting to show, they were 1 week. 2 blue babies that were only 3 days old, and 16 white with orange fin babies that were also only 3 days old. ALL GONE. What a glutton. =( Now, I've learned. I'll use the LID next time I have fry.
I just didn't even think about using the lid, because I figured there was no way those babies were going to just jump out of their little home. But I never considered that any of the other fish would successfully jump out of the water, up 3/4's an inch and IN to the breeder box. The bloodfin is quite bloated. You'd think it was about ready to drop babies.
