Babies

The platy had babies!

You probably read that last sentence with the 'happy yay voice', so please go back and read it again, this time as a horrified shriek. Thank you.

Well, as a bit of comfort, I'm sure those things aren't incredibly high on the food chain.

Yes, I apologize to whomever found the above remark insulting.

Yes, but their mom doesn't eat her young, and once you see them you're obligated to do something about it. They have big eyes! ::at one point was trying to take care of several hundred swordtail babies::

Luckily she's not mine, but the school's, so any more babies are their problem.

The praying mantis' eggs hatched? They were really fertile? O.O WASN'T IT A LOT OF EGGS??!!

Nope, a platy. They're a type of livebearing fish. The praying mantis' eggs won't hatch until spring, if at all. Hopefully, they won't.
