Babies??? Congrats!

Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

If they're fertilized, can't you still collect them?

In am in poland now i travelled home to split the male / female she was a little beat up. luckilly its only 2-3 hours to and from and £1 + Taxes for flights.Ill be back home in 4 days now.....I will probably have a chat with Ian about his breeding methods on Saturday i didnt think they would start two weeks into being rehomed.....the male hasnt ate in a week and a half also so i am keane for him to eat but i think its normal for him to go on strike before mating.... another strange thing when they were courting apparently they turned white on there side... i dint see this as they are there normal brow / chocolate coulr all last night. my neighbour is watching them now ive asked him to take the partition out again. apparently only a few eggs can be seen now if any fry hatch / survive ill collect them if not ill wait till the next time round and ill have a 1x1x1 setup ready to take the eggs out as soon as they are laid
