Conspiracy Theory...

I decided after MANY long months of heming and hawing that poor Larry our Beta Fish was getting lonely in that big 'ol tank, so I finally got him some friends.

And after just 3 days I was reminded just why I like Larry- he doesn't breed baby fish.

Yup I am pretty sure there is a sign at each local pet store that has a picture of me and the caption,
"Sell this woman pregnant fish!"

You may remember our many adventures with fish babies, but it has been quite sometime since we have had even a single newbie. Right now I have no less than 30 babies. Black and orange ones. which leads me to believe not only are the fish stores plotting against me but the fish as well, I mean COME ON! What are the odds two fish would have babies in the same 24 hour period?

Assuming they make it that long, anybody need a pet?

**Updated with pictures of the newborns**
The gold ones- nearly invisible above and the black ones below- all smaller than the pebbles in the bottom... TEENY TINY!

That's hilarious! I'm so thankful that fish can multiply like that and not dogs. (I'll trade you one of your fish for our dog?)
