Becca is a Mommy!

Babies

You heard that right, Becca is a mommy! Now, normally if I said that statement, all you'd see is a trail of dust and I'd be writing this from a warm, tropical, non-extradition country. In this case, I'm confident that the DNA test will prove I'm not the father, but I have a feeling I'm still going to be stuck paying child support regardless how the test comes back.

Our Black Molly was looking especially bloated and also developed a few white spots, so to be safe Becca moved her to a quarantine tank. She spent a few days there, her spots seemed to go away and also seemed to lose some weight. She then was put back in the big tank and it wasn't until Becca started cleaning the quarantine tank that she discovered little babies. Only two survived and now Becca is playing mommy to them. I'm going to take the typical (adopted) father approach of not caring until they reach the age they can actual do something.

Even though I'm not going to win Father of the Year, it will still be kind of cool if we can raise them.

I setup a Fish Cam to view the tank. At this point, it's not possible to see the babies, but at least it's possible to check out some of the action. When the page first loads, it only shows a still picture, so click on the Video/Java button.
