I was in the midst of upgrading my 29 gallon to a 55 and slowly adding fish after cycling the tank. OMG week 2 after transferring my adult Australian rainbows to the new tank my 29 gallon has 11 babies of them! I still have some fish in my 29 as to not add too many too soon to the 55. So I let the babies grow, 3 weeks have passed and now I see baby Otocinclus! The only thing in the tank is a 5" clown loach 4 adult otocinclus, then of course the babies. I was waiting to transfer the large clown when the water was right in the new tank. Now I have all these babies! Has anyone experienced this???
