Where is father love?

Remember this?



Before I went away to Port Douglas, fries (baby fighters) hatched from their eggs and we were over the moon!!!


Notice one of the fries, the white little dot beside dad's lower fin?


Close up shot..


See all the fries' tails dangling underthe bubble nest! And there were about hundred of them!!

Then I was off to Port Douglas, expected to see the fries swimming free when I came back but without any knowledge and experience, disaster happened..

DAD ATE THEM ALL!!!

I was so upset...

There was nothing I could do but wait for the next time for mum to produce eggs again..

Some say that was just their nature, to eat their own offsprings if dad and babies were not seperated few days after they hatched.. but I say this is family violence!!
