It's getting a little crowded in the fish tank...

So the mama fish just had another batch of babies. That's three (three... batches? litters? schools? whatever) if you're counting at home. The male has been dead for several weeks.

We were beginning to suspect divine intervention before we came across this tidbit:

"Once the eggs are fertilized it takes from four to six weeks for the first batch of babies to appear. However, because females can store sperm, there may be successive batches of babies within four- to six-week intervals for six to eight months."

SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS?!

It might be time to mix a little fish birth control into the tank.
