Punicius babies: 9

A colorful mother had 9 last night and they are typical and nippy right out of the sack and none are a coloful as mom as they gain colors with age. Actually, mom hid so well during the day that I did not know she was gravid until I happen to notice her out with a blob of babies.

And appearing rather empty, and after dropping the last baby, she quickly approach me (the food source) and I gave her 3 defrosted mice off tongs and I thought I saw her smile.
