The Babies Are Growing!

One of my duties here where I live and work is to feed the fish.  We started out with 5 young fish.  The bad news is only one of those of those still survives.  The good news is before the others met their untimely demise, they reproduced.  The baby fish in this photo  are just a few of the offspring of those original five fish.  Though I was really sad about losing all but one of the parents, I am so glad to see the babies doing so well.  Will we lose some of these babies?  Probably so.  But, if enough of them make it to adulthood and breed, then the cycle of life, and yes, death, will continue.  That is the natural of order of things in this wonderfual universe.
