HOSStile Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) This is Mama and her "little family". She spit them out almost 2 weeks ago. For the first few days after spitting, she would gather them all up in her mouth again for the night, or when I went to the basement to look at her. As the fry grew older she could fit fewer and fewer in her mouth, each night but she still trys. She has dug her self a cave under the sponge filter and seems content to live in the little 10 gallon tank with her kids forever. She eats along with the fry and everyone is as happy as can be. I will attempt to move them into a 20 gallon next week. This is the first malawi that I have seen, who is this dedicated to the kids. And because I don't want to disturb the family there is lots of algae and crap all over everything which made for this crappy picture. PS I have stopped counting at 50 fry, I can't get them all in one picture. Edited March 23, 2006 by HOSStile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
