There were more of them this morning, and they are a bit bigger, but nothing else interesting happened. The biggest monkeys are almost twice as long as the little ones, and are actually beginning to swim quite well, instead of jerking around and around in circles. They are all over the tank now. The little runts are still hiding in the crater but the big ones are everywhere.
I estimate that I have about 100 babies in there right now - I hope at least a few of those make it to adulthood!
I aerated today with a drinking straw - I melted the end closed with a lighter and poked little holes in it with a needle. I was afraid I'd hurt them, since they are so small, but I can't see any difference in their numbers so they are probably OK.
First feeding in three days!

they wouldnt overpopulate would they?? or is the survival rate low?
Posted by: steph at April 14, 2003 09:36 PMSteph - I will, don't worry :)
It's kinda like survival of the fittest, only a few survive in this amount of water/food/oxygen. Though I wouldn't mind a nice, densely populated tank!! :D
Jomay - They could be seen with the bare eye even yesterday (my short-sightedness could have helped) but I like to use a magnifying glass. The very biggest ones are about 1 mm long!
Posted by: den at April 15, 2003 12:42 AMOkay, I'm puzzled. What are they? Where did you get them?
