I'm very pleased to report I've had a recent batch of new baby crystals. My females have been carrying eggs for several weeks and it's always difficult to keep track of which ones have released them since many look the same.

I noticed a few tiny baby crystals the other night and I ended observing my tank for nearly an hour counting the babies and verified there were at least 10 new ones. I'd say about 60% of them are very high grade like the parents and the remaining are only displaying moderate coloration.

It's amazing how vivid the colors on the babies can be even at a few days old. I'm in the process of clearing out my lower grade crystals to make more room for the really nice ones, so I'll post some pics if I can get some good shots.
