Oh don't worry about it, the ones that do make it to the rocks want to try their hand at swimming and then they get eaten by my danios, bettas, or some other fish in my tank. I'm not overly attatched, I just find it cute lol. Out of the whole brood, I had 2 males and like 30 females. When they were a month old I put them in the big tank anyways, and some of them did get picked off then. But now if any of my females give birth I just let nature take it's course, I'm not going to sit around and try to catch them all.
My friend Jen took 2 from me, 2 girls so I got less of a problem there so far. Soon I'm gonna try to have a stand or something to sell them off or make a poster XP
I know they're breeding machines, my males are getting frisky by themselves and trying to breed one another 8O Infact this morning, one of my 2 month olds I stuck in there nipped my dominant male, Slider, and he got mad at my other adult male, Dez, and hit him for it. I found it kind of amusing ^^;and i'm suprised at how big the 2 months are compared to my 4 month but I have pregnant females still and I'm just worried that 1's like 3 months pregnant o.o.. but I'm not going to worry about it, the babies can get picked off and if they survive that tank they will be commended with life lol
I just want them to go to good homes and if it comes down to it, I'll donate them as food to Isabelle the sidenecked turtle at school.
