Baby Severums!

Our two severums, Chomp (a male green severum) and Shorty (a female blue severum) have little babies at the moment =). This is their second attempt at starting a family, and this time everything seems to be going along swimmingly! We had to separate Chomp and Shorty because Chomp was being a bit too aggressive towards poor Shorty and she was becoming stressed. Thus, Chomp is now looking after the ten little babies, and Shorty is enjoying a nice relax in a different section of the same tank (where she is much happier!)


Here are some pics of the babies (they are a bit blurry because the babies are so small and never stay still!):
When we adopted Chomp, he was injured - he had a chomp missing out of his back, where another fish had attacked him. When we adopted Shorty, she was missing her tail as a result of another fish biting her. So our two fish had a hard life, and we are happy that they have found love and had cute little babies now lol =)


We are crossing our fingers that their little babies make it to be healthy full sized fish!
