Got my maid to wash my fishtank the first time, and I was horrified to see them all dead the next day. However, to my surprise, there were plenty of baby fishes swimming around. I didn't know my fishes were pregnant. I doubt all three were pregnant but I had absolutely no idea how they died. I thought the mummy fish could have died after giving birth to so many baby fishes (bled to death?). As for the other two adult fishes, I thought perhaps one tried to eat the babies, whereas the other attempted to protect them,hence they had a fight and both died as a result?
There were about 50 baby fishes altogether. My neighbour's son dropped by my house and was excited when he saw the fishes. I gave him about 15 baby fishes, another 10+ fishes to Greg's teacher, 9 to Raymond and I kept the rest. This is the first time I start rearing fish from the infant stage. Kekeke... hope these fishes are hardy enough to continue growing... and yes I may need to change my tank to a bigger one soon. =)
