Of Life and all else
Aha! My big guppy has finally given birth. I have been waiting for this to happen for a few weeks now. I got up today morning and noticed that the bigger fishes were all chasing really fast moving tiny targets. This woke me up really quickly. After I was able to focus my eyes, I realized that there were quite a few babies. I also moved the rest of the fishes to another tank and left the mommy in the original since the original tank has a lot more stuff for the small ones to hide behind. I stood there looking proudly at mommy who was pushing them out at fast as she could. I saw a few of the little ones being dropped out of the mommy’s tummy. But soon after they became targets for the mommy and were not safe with the mommy. And so I had to catch all the tiny tots and move them to a separate jar. I managed to salvage about 14 of them before I got to work. I feel so content after having done this. There is something serene about a new life beginning. After I had rescued about 10 of them, and the mommy was still going at it, I told myself that if there were some born after I would just let nature take its course. In other words, to let the mommy, eat them. But I just couldn’t keep myself in place and let the little ones be eaten. I just HAD to move them.
I was commenting yesterday that the previous batch looked so small and if they were really growing at all. But after I kept the new batch close to the older batch I realized how big the previous batch had become. Hopefully in another month or so they will be ready to move to the main tank.
Yesterday, I started a new group weight training class. But it wasn’t that much fun. It was mostly introduction to how to work the machines which I kinda already knew. So hopefully from next week, the trainer will be coming around to push us into doing more work to try to push our limits. I did follow up by doing some work on my own by I still did not find myself screaming in agony in the morning. My body still hardly feels stiff. Maybe I am just not working it hard enough. Or maybe this time I followed it up by a visit to the steam room and so the Jacuzzi and so my muscles were more relaxed and not so tense as I expect it to be.
Alright, catch you guys later then!
