Fish Babies

One of our new fish had babies. We actually ended up buying 4 more fish a week after the last ones. The first fish store goofed up and gave us 2 males and 1 female-and it was the female that had died. We did not realize this until after we bought 2 males and 2 females. So the 2 females that we had were getting sick from being harassed--in order to stop this we went and bought 4 more females. One of the females was pregnant when we bought her--she had a couple prematurely due to the stress of being moved. Then the other day while I was cleaning the tank she had some more--we have 5 in a breeding net. I'm pretty sure she still has more and that cleaning the tank stressed her out enough to have just a few. But the five that we have seem to be doing good--they are swimming and eating. I tried to get a picture but it didn't focus very well. I've labeled the fish and by comparing it to the gravel you can see they are very small.
