A Nice Surprise

[fishlady]

CF and I were moving one of the 55 gallon tanks to make room to set up the cherry oceanic 135 in the living room and we were catching fish for the move. A while back we had purchased about 4 kuhli loaches from Dustin at HAW and had placed them in this particular tank. Any way now and then we would see them playing around in the bottom of the tank. but tonight when we were catching fishies we counted 6 kuhli's instead of 4. it seems that we have 2 babies in there. now i read on the net about breeding kuhli's and they say it's supposed to be hard to do and success of it would surely mean you have bragging rights that you accomplished it. well, i don't think we need to brag about it, but we were pleasantly surprised to see we have breeding kuhli's ....and the 2 babies are so cute.....if they didn't move so fast we could've gotten a picture, but they are fast little boogers....just thought i'd share our excitement.....

thanks for reading...
FL and CF.....

It was pretty exciting......I had caught just about all the "big fish" and was removing the remainder of the decorations and live plants when I started counting them....at first I tried to tell fishlady that maybe we had bought 5, because I had seen an "extra" one, but then when I seen looked again, I counted 6 and two of them where thinner than the others, and I do remember all the kuli's being about the same size when we bought them....I am pretty sure, we had just gotten very lucky with our original selection and mother nature took it's course.

Braggin not....just excited and wanting to share.....I am sorry we did not snap a picture of the two suspected fry...but they looked pretty much the same as the others only thinner and a tad shorter.....
