The fish are starting to get deep blue around their mouth. One boss fish controls 1/5 of the tank, while 4 of them stay at the front of the glass and stick together, and the other 1 goes around from trying to steal the spot to running away, to the group. The boss man is beating up the other fish. He keeps doing the mouth thing that cichlids do. I love how they all sit at the front of the glass. I found 12 baby mosquitofish, and they are all around half a centimeter. They are eating flakes, but keep well away from boss man. They have gotten noticeably darker shades of blue on their sides as well as black bars. Some are lighter, and some aren't. They are definitely getting noticeably colorful, and to be honest, they are one of my favorite animals! Pics tomorrow
Here are the pics! Here’s the guy I talked about. The super colorful dominant guy.
Here is a different one. Second most colorful one. I didn’t use a filter. The camera just randomly decided to turn the water clear instead of the brownish color it is.
These are my favorite pictures. My favorite view areas as well. There is always so many little ittybitty mosquito fish. Side note, there are atleast 30 baby mosquito fish.
I love it when this guy colors up completely.
Is this a dragonfly nymph carapace? On the leaf?
Now the writing bit. There has been a massive baby boom.
The fat platy apparently was pregnant. I’m not sure how she had babies, but there are at least 5 that survived. I secretly called her Phat Platy, but let’s just change that to Phantastic Platy! I’ve seen at least 30 individual baby mosquito fish. I found 4 clutches of snail eggs, and even the carapace on the leaf! And this was all noticed in 2 days!

Yeah! Have you had a dragonfly nymph in your ponds at any time? What does it do to the fish?
