    Hello everyone haven't posted anything for a while been busy getting ready for our new arrival. On sat (the date on my camera is off by a day) my wife gave birth to healthy baby girl named Alexa Anne. Mom and baby are now home and both are doing great. My 3.5 year old twins are happy to be big sisters! I will try and get a tank update now that I have some time away from work!

Anyway, I didn't think much about them until I found one 'spawning' in my frag tank. They release eggs or offspring or whatever directly into the water column. Since then, I have been executing them on a regular basis - but for every one I kill, I suspect there are 20 I don't see. Not sure if they're OK or not, but I just realized that ...
