Not now!!

Well, Emma kindly like me see these 'tiny' Sewellia fry. And i did try for some pictures. I manage 10 decent shots with my camera's capablity's. I'll post my pictures of Emma's and Steve's little babies tomorrow chaps. I've been up since 3.30am and have drove for a good 11 hours today. I'm just relaxing with a beer and watching my new additions for now.

I'll show them tomorrow.

Where's your photos then, Graeme?!

Despite the camera only working intermittently, I managed to capture a few shots earlier today 15/07/2006....

I left the camera in the car and Lisa (wife) has gone to her sisters for the night.

Tomorrow. Definitely!

Look at the increasing amount of yellow on these little guys.

Update 17/07/2006 - it's already just over a month since I found these little loachies in the filter!

I just measured one of the ones that was resting on the glass, and it's between 18 and 19mm total length.

The overhead picture is special.

I really like the 2nd one, those ceramic rings give a great perspective of their size. They're still really little! Developing nicely though

Is it just me but the head doesn't seem to be as big as it used to be?

Update 21/07/2006. Managed to grab a few shots just now before the camera decided that enough was enough. (Don't know what's wrong with it, it comes up with loads of black and white horizontal lines across the viewfinder). Probably have to take it somewhere to get it looked at, but I don't want to be without it at the moment! Anyway, here they are.....

Unfortunately, the heatwave in the UK is still going strong

and the baby tank is currently up at 80 deg F. Not as bad as the main River Tank though, which is on 85 deg F.

Despite this, all inhabitants appear to be ok, probably due to the high level of oxygenation we make sure they have.

Going to do a small water change on the baby tank in a bit, and try and remove some of those snails which seem to be taking over!!!

I think I can see the development of the hoirizontal lines on some of these fish.
