Job Posted and Fish Babies

The local postion that we have been waiting for has been posted on Monday! It has to be posted for 5 days so we will probably hear more information on interviews and times either Friday or early next week. I'll keep everyone posted with more information as it comes. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and thoughts. Now let's pray that the interview will go well and he will get the job.

Ok. I don't know how I manage to do it but I can't seem to not breed fish! Many of you know my past exploits with fish management and know that I can breed guppies like you wouldn't believe. I also managed to get neon tetras pregnant despite reports that they are very difficult to breed. Don't ask me how. I have no idea. Anyway, we bought a small 5-gallon tank a little over a week ago and bought four mollies. I know, I know! They are live-bearing fish and very similar to guppies in their ability to propogate. However, the lady at Wal-Mart swore up and down that they only ever sell males. Even though alarms were going off in the back of my head I took her word for it and brought home the mollies. We had two orange, one black, and one silver. The black promptly died within two days. We didn't mind so much. Mollies are pretty cheap. At the end of last week I also bought a cherry barb and a gold barb (egg layers) to add to our collection. Well, this morning my husband comes to me and informs me that we have babies! Sure enough, I checked out the tank and there was a baby fish looking at me from among the pebbles. He said that he has seen 3 but I only have seen one so far and not again since this morning. We have marbles in the bottom of our tank rather than the typical gravel so there are plenty of places for baby fish to hide. I have no idea how many we actually have hidden down there. He was a pretty big little bugger too so he was probably born shortly after arriving in our tank. So despite my best efforts we are the proud owners of a breeding tank of fish. If this keeps up we'll need a larger tank with a cichlid or two to feed those babies to. Especially if the mollies are anything like guppies our little five gallon tank will be overflowing with fish in 6 months or less.

Anyone want some fish?
