So excited! Finally a berried female in tank #2!

Oh my gosh! I thought this tank would never reproduce! Lo and behold, I found a berried momma today! :smt005
I hope the babies survive and thrive just like they are on tank #1.... This tank has been through so much, I am thrilled!

Yeah Mech, this tank is my "Phoenix" tank... It has been through hell and back a couple of times. I had to completely start over twice, and it's been a constant struggle to get it back under control. To see this happening is a little miracle.... Here is to hope that all goes well and these babies thrive just like they are thriving in the other tank! I can't wait for this tank to really take off!
Little by little we are getting there!

Shows you how easy it is to miss a berried female. You saw her only two weeks and now there is larvae. Great!
