On a boat!
So, we're moving back home with a new company and I have already started work here for a couple of weeks. My wife is back home taking care of the rays, dogs, and selling the old house (9 hours away - driving). Well, she took a half day off to drive over here and I get a call around noon saying that there are pups in our big Henlei tank! We didn't even know any of the three females were pregnant! The one king henlei that is our producer just had pups a few weeks ago (check my other thread)!! So, I asked her which female looked skinny and she said the giant 26-28" female looked skinnier. She said that these are the largest pups to date (the last litter had huge pups). Keep in mind that she is not a fish person at all. She enjoys the view, but that's about it. So, I was on the phone telling her where the nursery was and how to handle the pups. She said that they are big and fat, so I'm not too worried about them not eating this weekend. She will feed them on Sunday when she drives back.

Ok, here they are! Enjoy!! (the suspected mama has nice donuts and TI spotting. Dad is likely the king)

So the bad timing was you're not there?

Exactly. My wife never, ever helps with fish stuff. It's my hobby. She likes them, but thinks I have too many tanks/fish LOL. I was grateful that she was able to fish these pups out of our 600 gallon tank without any complaints!
 
Looks like when I got my own wife she'll be like yours... :p 'will think of keeping too many fish' and 'might not help with fish keeping'. I better marry a mermaid... keddin, well you'll enjoy raising them tho. =)
 
Great news! The reason she helped is that women simply can not refuse babies of any animal.

Thanks, All! I am really stoked about the first two. Interesting patterns for sure. I have been hoarding the king pups recently, but looks like I'm running out of room!!!
