Approximatly 2-3 weeks ago, my female guppy gave birth. I was out of town at the time, and by the time I got back, there was only one baby left in the tank. I assumed the others had been eaten, and when the remaining baby vanished by the next day, I was sure this is what had happened.
Well, tonight Marconis asked me to check on the water level inside my XP2 canister filter. So as I shine my flashlight on the canister...what do I see? At least 4 not-so-small-anymore baby guppies!!! They've been living in my canister for at least two weeks and apparently thriving as they are much bigger than when I last saw them.
I can't believe it. I've heard stories of baby shrimp getting sucked into canisters and living, but it never occurred to me that this could happen to fish too!
I know, I know, "Pics!" you'll say. I promise to take some first thing in the morning.
