Molly gives birth....fruit of 'Our' labor ;)

The fish craze was still hanging around...and we were as always ,busy with talking n feeding the 2 aquariums ..(one with Gold fish n the other with Molly). Molly were lucky to be a part of the 'planted' aquarium... MIL's fav was still our old Gold Fish. Sad part was, all the Mollys died except for 2 , a pink and a black one.

Now this fish bug soon began to enter into the Family..including our cousins.. Abhi's niece who stood first in her class, wanted a pair of gold fish. This time again i was the carrier of the Bowl, stones n 2 fish... We handed the gift safely n wondered how the 8year old and the 2year old kids will 'take care' of their priced possession!! Abhi gave instructions to the entire family about the fish, water changing and food habits... We had a good lunch there n got back home and continued with our routine ..

14-Apr-2010, 6:20am,I was just out of my bath when i heard MIL calling my name. I rushed to the spot n saw MIL n SIL smiling at the smaller aquarium (fish poop...not again!!)... but no...there was something this time..I went closer...n then saw them...15-20 Molly babies..pink from nose and black on the tail. A perfect combination of the 2 mollys alive. We all forgot our other chores..I started shouting for PIL n Abhi...we all were surrounding the tank n counting the small ones.. Now the questions started popping up...when were the eggs laid? when the hatch? should we separate out the big ones from the small ones?? what should we feed them... uff...so many doubts...

We all rushed to office without actually in a mood to do so :(
Mails were floated to friends n relatives abt the samll ones being born n then one more round of R&D... we got to know that Mollys give birth (though not a mammal)..
That evening when we went back, we found MIL to be sad...reason, one of the parent molly's died :( . It was a mixed bag of happiness n sadness...

But we were anyways happy about the new ones...and out labor of spending so much money and time eventually bore fruits!! Next day Abhi's niece calls up, she was all in tears ...her throat was choking.. she told Abhi in her choked voice that both the gold fish at her home died...
Abhi had to console her by telling about the Baby mollys and promising a couple of them to her..
(what a couple!!!)

While this was happening, we found MIL standing near the gold fish n talking to them.. She has instructed the gold fish to lay eggs...that too within a month!!

Big question--will this happen? If yes then how??(need to edit thsi post, written in a hurry)
