Last week I had a horrible situation, which after reading responses to my post of dismay on other fish forums, it appears all too common.

What happened was a heater I had, albeit one of my older ones, broke down. Only it didn't stop working. It continued to heat without stopping, cooking my fish.

I admit, I was quite upset because I had a group of very special fish in that tank as well as a very loved betta. All of my fish in that tank perished and I was just beside myself with upset.

Tarn was a beautiful Red Cambodian Veil Tail betta that I had rescued and given a second chance. Unfortunately, he didn't have much chance. The others were some beautiful red danio.

This evening, exactly a week after the incident, I looked in the tank and spotted a little sliver of shine darting around. I held by breath...could it be? Sure enough, the sliver was infact a baby danio, spawned just prior to the disaster in my tank. It appears this fellow is the only one I have. They will grow fast if cared for very well, so I will give it all the TLC I can give it. perhaps when it is mature, I can put it in my main tank.

My betta fish spawned, and the fry are 2 weeks of age, but look somewhere between 3 and 4 weeks judging by growth. They are doing so well!
