Of Multiplying Guppies...
I now have baby guppies!!:) I'm not sure how many, but I counted at least 8 at one point. They are TINY! But cute! They seem to be swimming in a "school" together and also seem to be dodging the attempts of their parents to eat them??? Do guppies eat their babies? Feel free to leave a comment if you know. Or if you don't know!:) I like comments.
These pictures are absolutely horrible, but please humor me in my enjoyment of my little fish.:) Tell me they're cute. Or tell me they're ugly. Or that you can't see them. Or why the water is turning murky. Etc....
Regarding other (more important) news, last night our team met at Tom and Candice's house to introduce Anita to our team and vice versa. We had a time of sharing and prayer, then went to a local Korean barbecue to eat. These barbecue places are all over this area. I've shown pictures a few times of what they look like. Basically you have your own charcoal grill on the table in front of you, on which you grill a variety of meats, while the trough around the grilling meats is filled with water to cook various vegetables.
We had a nice time there eating and talking with live Thai music playing in the background (or maybe in the foreground??:) Once done there we went to our respective homes.
This morning I taught English at Promise Baptist Church; I think it went well, except that I fear I am being a boring teacher, and not everyone seems to be able to hear me very well. We are not in an enclosed room, so we hear all the traffic whizzing by.
After class, two of the students and I ate lunch together. Sorry, I didn't take pictures. We had a nice time chatting in a mixture of English and Thai. They taught me some things in Thai, and I taught them the English word for "hiccups" (because I ended up with a slight case of them:).
Now I must clean my room so that when Anita comes to see it on Monday she will be impressed.:)

guppies do indeed eat their young move them to another tank if possible-hey what happens if guppies eat rice?

Hey friend, glad to hear that you have a new teammate. I also like your little wet friends. I wish I could met them in person.

Your going to be pushed out the door if you buy too much more for your little apt. Enjoy your guppies. May they multiply quickly before they all get ate up!

I tried researching the guppy question, and this is what I found... I'm guessing this isn' the type of guppies you have swimming around! :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guppies

Enjoy your guppies. I see you found my site and heard my news. This is all a bet crazy to me, so I am proceeding causiously, but excitedly as well. :)

Yes, guppies eat their young - at least the first several weeks when they're smaller. Supposedly your best bet is to make sure there's lots of plant matter in the tank/pond for them to hide in.

Hi, Sharon! I liked the guppies! I have no idea whether their parents try to eat them or not, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was true. Let's hope some of them survive this cold, harsh and (for them) wet world! : )
