Getting Bigger

Not much is happening; the babies are bigger every day. The very biggest ones must be nearing 2mm but there's no way to tell for sure, since they move so quickly. The number of babies seems to fluctuate (less in the morning, more in the late afternoon) but it's probably just because they move slower in the morning, having been kept in darkness all night. After all they can't just disappear and reappear like that!

They are three days old now. First feeding in two days (they'll be five days old - I hope that's the correct feeding scedule!). I can see a dark stripe in all of them now, except the smallest ones, when I shine a light behind them. I think this is their full digestive tracts, so I'm not too worried about them starving to death. I'm much more worried about them being jostled around and splashed out during aeration!
