As some of you know, I found three Leuc eggs two weeks ago yesterday. Yes, that makes it 16 days now. Every morning I get up and stare at the eggs. Every night when I come home, I head straight to the eggs to see if they finally decided to break out. I was certain that they would have hatched tonight, but NO ! While they look great and are active, , they still aren't ready to join the world.
After putting the eggs back, I glanced over at the Leuc tank. Hmmm, interesting. My male was on the glass. Unusual to see him on the glass but not unheard of. I figured that he was chasing a bug.
I grabbed the cellphone real quick just to get a belly shot of him to check out the design. As I moved over to get a side shot, I jumped about two feet off of the ground. That's why the picture is so bad. Look carefully at his back:
I freaked out, mostly because I have no water feature in the tank. I had to speed dial DB member Chesney. This is how the conversation went....
Lisa: Did they hatch?
Me: Gah ! Gah! Ga ga gaaaaaaaaah........oogie ooogie GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Lisa: Hmm. They must have hidden a clutch from you. Just take a small dose cup or two add some water and turn them sideways so he can back in and drop the tad. Oh and he may run around like that for a couple of days. Don't be concerned.
Me: Call you right back. GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
One or two cups? I don't think so. The entire bottom of the tank looks like the aftermath of the Beer Pong World Championships.
My wife insists that he was just a proud papa coming to the glass to show me Leuc Jr. Personally, I think that he is mocking me.
No one does it better than nature!
