Lucky catfish fry

The big thing today was that for the first time I saw the fry swimming out in the open. And up to the surface for air once, like the adults.
Hanging out on higher points of plants, instead of sheltered in the windelov thicket most of the time. On the tallest crypt leaf!
Perched on anubias. See the adult male (Leo) in the first pic?
I like this photo in spite of the java fern thread going across it, because I can see the baby fish's spine.
Lucky in the 'blue bell' buces:
Not the best focus, but here's Lucky on a buce 'selena', with Momma underneath a nearby one.
Lucky is about the size of a smaller trumpet snail now. I feel like the fry is growing really fast!
That photo from a few days ago, of Lucky under a leaf? Showing it again with a comparison pic- Felix in front of the same leaf.
