As crazy as this sounds, and what else would you expect from me , on Monday I noticed some eggs in my tank. Upon closer inspection, I noticed one of them had eyes! It was actually attached to the filter intake.
I decided what the heck. Let's see if we can get this thing to hatch. I set up a 10 gallon, added any plants/rocks from the main tank that I saw eggs on along with the filter intake.
Long story short, that one egg was the only one that hatched! It hatched on Wednesday night when I took Riley for a walk. I was ecstatic! I got a couple pics . . . and then he disappeared. No sign of him at all yesterday. Upon the encouragement of the subbies (and part laziness) I left the tank set up. This morning I flipped the light on an lo and behold there he was!! We had initially named him Lucky cuz he was pretty lucky to be not only stuck to the filter intake but also the only one to hatch! After he went missing I started calling him Waldo. Not sure which name will stick . . .
Without further adieu meet Lucky Waldo.
Oh nuts. I need to get on my phone, just a minute.
