Today I found these little guys swimming around in the tank. 6 total!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes. 2 did not make it and were dead when I found them. The other 4 are in the nursery tank. I think there are 3 females and 1 male that made it. 2 males did not make it. These are fat little buggers. No yolk sacks at all. Probably about 3" wide at birth. They were all very much the same size. And very fat too. These are the fattest pups I've had. I think this is my 5th litter of pups.
The first group of pictures is the 4 that survived. Then I took pics of the ones that didn't make it. One was very red and seemed to be bleeding from its mouth, but no bit marks on the disk at all. I flipped them over and they both have what seems to be some internal bleeding by the anus. Both were fully developed. Last 2 are of the mom. She looks like a deflated balloon. She was very huge. Enjoy the pics.
