Hey guys. A really mad thing happened to me yesterday. I went to our local aquarium to buy some more tropical fish for my tank. I bought a female swordtail and a female dalmation molly. Anyway the man put them in the bag and i took the home. When i went to put them in my tank i got the shock of my life!
My swordtail had around 30 other fishies in there with her! She had given birth in the bag on my way home. I was so excited and shocked. I managed to separate her from the young, otherwise she would have eaten them. Unfortunatly i have lost more than half of them, i think i have around 10 left. I can't wait to rear them and see how they grow and what kind of colours they develop.
ooooo its so exciting lol

You really got your money's worth out of that fish! What did the unit price end up being?

Unit price? Do you mean the price of the mummy fish? She cost me £2.99.  Babies are doing fine. I had to buy some baby fish food for them cos they need feeding tiny amounts but often. They are still really cute. Woohoo cant wait for them to grow.

The unit price of a product is when you take the total price, and then divide it by the unit of the product, like however many grams or ounces the package weighs. So, take your price of 2.99, and divide it by however many babies it had + 1, and there is your unit price!

Brian thanks for that info but please don't baffle me with all that math stuff
Yeah the baby fish food i got is frozen, some kind of shrimp spawn. You just break a bit off and defrost it and pour it in. It goes like very fine powder when its in the water.
