Today is Saturday - a week since we took the dead fish back to Petsmart. Today, Taite was looking at the empty fish tank & she called me, "Mom! There is a baby fish in here!" I told her it was probably junk floating around in there. Just to prove my point, I turned the light on....only to discover FOUR baby fish swimming around! SO FUNNY! I don't really know what to do with 4 microscopic fish. We put a little bit of ground up fish food in the tank. They may not last through the day. But, it would be cool if they did make it! Maybe this is why their parent(s) died...do they lay their eggs & die??? Who knows. The picture above is the best shot I could get of one of the rapidly swimming microscopic fish we have inherited! :)UPDATE: The fish didn't last through the day. I'm sure we caused that, somehow. I read up on this type of fish - they are acutally "livebearers", so they did not come from eggs. I guess those little buggers have been hangin' out in there for a week. Little did we know. I'm sure when we started messing with the tank we killed 'em. So sad. That was pretty cool!!!

Oh my golly! That is the craziest fish story I have ever heard!
How are the babies doing? Did they last the day? Good thing you kept the water in the tank!
Weird! Hmmmm....maybe you should get another dog? Poor fish. We are fish killers too---it's not just you.
