2 new fish have been added into the tank.
Now there is a total of 11 fish.
Both of the new fishes are female.

This is a report.

Due to the lack of knowledge of rearing pregnant fish, one of our pregnant fish died.
(It died on 13th May)
The pregnant fish was left in a pail filled with fresh tap water and a very strong air pump.
However, the tap water in the pail should be either left in the open for 1 ~ 2 days or water from the fish tank.
No air pump should be left in the pail as it would scare the pregnant fish and prevent it from giving birth with ease.
A few weeds should have been placed to allow the newly born guppies to hide from their mother.



Recently we have discovered that before the pregnant fish was isolated it gave birth to one baby guppy. It was discovered only today (15th May)
The fish had developed a small tail and has darker eyes than a new born guppy should have.
Now there are 10 fishes.
