Three new babies found alive in aquarium!

A trio of baby fish were discovered in the big aquarium and transported to the safety of an isolation crib. Two marble mollies (pictured at right) and one tiny platy were discovered at 11:20 a.m. by the TankKeeper during routine tank maintenance. The tiny platy was apparently eaten by the marble molly babies over the lunch hour.

The twin marble mollies are large enough to register with the naked eye, while the smaller platy was so small our photographer wasn't even able to photograph it before it disappeared sometime around 1 p.m.

"What we believe we have here are two separate birth events," TankKeeper said after making the discovery. "We had two mothers -- one obviously a marble molly and the other most likely a Platy. There were likely many more babies but we were only able to discover and recover three."

The twin marble mollies, Napoleon and Josephine, appear to be in good health, tank officials said after examining both fry.

"We regret that the third baby died, but it was so small that natural selection intervened," said TankKeeper after learning of the platy's death.
