what happen with this 2 pups?

[Mosquito]

in this week i've got 15 pups from 3 litre.. it should 17 but 2 of them die since born.

when i look into the pond, i see the water is very cloudy like a milk... since this is not my first litre, i knew there is something wrong. and in those cloudy water, i can see something white like a pups.. i thought i got an albino pups... but this is what i've got..

why are they dead? is it because the water? food? or anything else?

and this is the survivor

all together

It could have been alot of things but i would have to geuss maybe not enough room in the female or just one of those freak things

maybe they were stillborns that hadnt quite developed yet? they are quite small....

could it be? since 4 other all healthy?

i thought they dead long before they born. maybe 1 month before? thats why they still like that...

those are two different rays..... they are not identical twins, although they may be sisters who knows

well you also have to notice that they are small, the mother gave birth to many pups, and they dont have any pigmentation to them, so they probably did die within the mother and just come out with the rest of them

yup i agree with this.

 

[nitrofish1]

sorry for your loss of those two, but id say that your gain was much better
