fry update

I was thinking it would be nice to have some actual live food to give my baby guppies, then I went to clean out the square windowsill jar that had subwassertang in it (now all in the fry box). There's a few tiny bits of subwassertang I'd missed, and some tiny ramshorn snails which I plucked out and put in the other glass box next door (with baby java ferns). Then I saw the nearly-empty box has tiny moving specks in it- I think copepods or seed shrimp. I fished a bunch out with a straw into a tiny medicine cup and dumped in the fry box. Yep- the guppy fry eagerly ate them! It's kinda weird to keep a glass box of water that looks empty on the sill, just for copepods, so maybe I'll stick another piece of plant back in there and keep it going for a while.

The baby guppies no longer look like tadpoles, just eyes and a wriggly tail. They look like tiny tiny fish now- still with hugely cute all-eyes-and-stomach appearance, but against the light if I look close can see the fan shape of their tails, dorsal and pelvic fins as well. They are definitely a bit bigger each day.
