ejaustin Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 This morning I noticed that Bertha Blenny is huge! I mean her belly is very, very round. All of the blennies seem to be happy and they are all growing, but this is different. I don't know if she just pigged out on the algae I put in the tank last night, but I'm thinking maybe she has eggs. (I've been reading fish-breeding forums, so maybe it's a simple matter of my own suggestability.) I'm excited and saddened by the possibility. Excited because, well, there might be babies! Saddened because I really have no way to help them along at this point. The tank is too small and I don't have anything to feed tiny guys and everyone else will just gobble them up. OTOH, maybe it bodes well for the future, when I am more prepared to provide room, food and safety for a brood. ej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caferacermike Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I get big when I have gas. My algae blennie eats so much it looks like it swallowed a ping pong ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejaustin Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Yep, it's entirely possible she's just been pigging out. She keeps changing colors, though... gets darker for a while and then lightens up (literally!). Most likely wishful thinking on my part. Still, keeps me keeping a close eye on the tank, in a fun kinda way. ej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
