Got mum out of the tank today but not before she took a chunk out of the side of my hand :oops: Smart ass here thought he could just reach in and grab her
Anyhoo after I netted her all the babies were stripped off her. There are a lot of babies now, swimming around and seem to be feeding off the stuff growing on the tank walls
