More babies!

[Mir]

Hey guys. Sorry for not checking in in a while. I've been busy. But just yesterday I did a water change and guess what I found! Sarge the pleco had some more babies he was guarding! It looked like they just hatched. They are just the cutest little things ever. <3

I found out that the little spot where they keep having them is just behind their driftwood and inside Charlie's castle. Sarge hasn't moved from there. I left them alone and so I don't have any pics of the new babies, but I do have some photos of "Pleccie Jr.", the sole baby left from the last time they bred. He is growing and hasn't been hiding any more. Now he's not afraid to just hang out around in the open with his parents. And he is quite the gorgeous little specimen too.



Here is Pleccie Jr. and mama Pistol eating. Charlie snuck in and was trying to eat the algae wafers too!


And here is a brief video of Pleccie Jr. moving around on the driftwood. Sorry for bad quality, lol.

I'll see if I can get any pics of the teeny tiny cuties once their daddy lets them out, lol.

Hey everybody! I have a few pics now. This morning I woke up and the tank was swarming with teeny tiny plecos! It looks like daddy let most of them out now. They are sooooo cute! And there are some albinos too!

(sorry for out-of-focus pics, I only had my phone with me to take them)

Clearer pic of a baby in front of Pleccie Jr.:


Sarge joining Jr. to eat. It's really hard to tell in this pic, but there is a baby hiding underneath him, snuggling against his pectoral fin:


And another blurry pic, but here is a baby on the front glass, with Charlie (the blur in the corner) swimming in the background for size comparison:

Aren't BN fry nice...well, all fry are nice, LOL...but the little BN fry are neat, and more individual acting, in lieu of the 'cloud' like angels.....these little dickens get everywhere......
