Sophia (our fish):) is a Balloon Molly and she gave birth to at least 24 babies last night! Mollies are one of few types of fish that give birth to live fish rather than laying eggs. It was really fun to watch! The kids were so excited!! After about 2-3 hours and we thought she was done with labor she had to be moved out of the netted area so she wouldn't eat her babies. I have pictures here for you to see mama while she was in labor (you can see how huge her belly is!!) then, pics of the babies and lastly another pic of mom after she was taken away from the babies. (you can tell her belly looks less swollen already) Anyway, just wanted to share our exciting event...I'll write more later.
