Meet the Mama Betta: Miss Lizzy.  Here she is enjoying her new habitat, just after giving birth to 30 some offspring.  She bounced back quickly!  Mr Darcy took a nip at her tail in their courtship, and she's still on the mend.  So far, Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Elizabeth have remained apart after the initial mating.  We still haven't made a final choice about their final living arrangements once the babies are done with the big tank.  Her new quarters are kept up nicely by Madame Cheng...the golde...

To pick up where I left off from the last betta fish post:  Daddy Betta, aka Mr. Darcy, was vigilantly watching over his little bubble nest and eggs.  He was pretty bored, because watching eggs isn't that stimulating.  But he was keeping his eye out for the annoying frog, and anyone else who threatened his future fry.

The mating happened on Monday morning, so on Sunday morning, I ran downstairs to see if we had babies yet.

 Yes!!!  Look at all these babie...
