Cool! I wonder how many juvies are hiding?

I really don't know. This one is obviously beyond fry stage so it has been hiding for quite a while. I'm going to try to replant most of the Sargasso Sea on Sunday so perhaps more will be apparent. There is still the perpetual bubble nest there so there might be more "work in progress."

I'm not really try to breed them. Nature and all that...

Spent time on the tank today for the first time in over a month. I knew I had three juvi female gourami: two apparently from the same spawn and another from a much later spawn based on size comparison.

To my surprise I have a male as well! Based on size it is from a spawn that occurred between the two older females and the smaller female. I have no idea where it's been hiding all this time. So that's a total of four! They're like cockroaches!

Looks like more to catch and sell at the next auction. These should get split up since they're from the same original pair I sold at the last auction.
