Well talking to Wednesday (Russ) and many others for days I almost thought my female might never give birth at the rate she was going, then she slowed eating and even 2 days ago gave up jumbo shrimp I dropped in just for her and she was getting very active. Then Russ said it would be cool if we had pups on the same day, I said yes but honestly that's like 1 in a million or one in 365 however you want to do the math it didn't seem at all possible. Sure enough next morning my phone was going crazy with messages about pups and I needed to go check and… my girl was still fat and swimming her laps. So jokingly I said I still have about 17 hrs but ya right won’t happen. I left the house a few times and each time came back to nothing. But I was very much enjoying the fact that Russ got some really sweet Marble pups that look awesome with tons of spots. It’s a joy for me to have pups but I’ve had a good few batches and after having 11 pups last year I kind of thought I had seen it all especially when my next batch was only 5 pups. But then my female got pregnant and I knew it was from my Leo so I got excited to see what would turn up for patterns as that combo is very unique.
Well amazingly I was down stairs looking at my female and she just seemed super super huge almost bloated even more than normal and I was actually talking to a friend about how big she looked. I turned around to my computer and checked on something for about 1 min and when I turned back around all I could see what pups flying everywhere in the tank. So I yelled for my wife and threw the breeder tub in and just started grabbing them as quick as I could not counting but I knew allot were in there. As I went along chasing them down my wife said is that all of them and I said no I can still see 6 or more buried in the sand right there, so I got all those out and into the tub. After that I can a quick count and could not believe my eyes, I had to count 3 times just to check as It was absurd, 13 pups was amazing. I got off the step stool and looked in the tank for a min just in awe and all the sudden one more swam across the back wall quickly back to the step stool and into the tub.
14 Leo/Mantilla pups, I will be accepting worm donations for the chance to name a ray. Lol ok just joking, I’m super shocked and amazed and privileged to share these with all of you.
