(Ooops I posted it in a wrong place first time. Here we go again...)

As the title says - My P. Motoro gave birth to her (and my) first litter tonight at 3 am Four small cute pups - and a healthy mother so that just couldn't get better. We're very happy and it's a truly amazing experience

I only have a bad (dark) picture 'cause the light's still turned off.



So be it... I'm almost proud!

Congratulations you must b ecstatic! I know I would be! Best of luck with these pups!

 

[MonsterMinis]

Yay babies!

 

[xxkasper]

Thanks. So yay!

 

[GinBlack]

So what are your plans for the pups? And of course, when you get the chance and the light is on take pics! I'm anxious to see these cuties!

Congrats, What size is the mom? 4 pups not too bad at all, are they eating? and are you feeding black worms? Earth worms? or other?

GinBlack: I'm selling them when they're big enough and the right home is there Of course!

DIDYSIS: One of them ate last night I think. But I haven't feed them yet. I was told I shouldn't do that the first day? My plan is to make very tiny bites of what the others eat.

When is it ok for me to turn the light on?

I forgot to say - the mom is about 14 inches in disc

I'd keep the lights off till they are eating, some light in the room is fine but no tank lights. You can go ahead and feed them the first day, its just unusual for them to eat right away.

What do you guys feed with? I was thinking tiny bits of shrimps, smelt and anchovies - but is that good enough?
