Subj : Update On Female Mbunas

This is just a short update on the status of some of my female mbunas.

As you may recall, Mama Mbuna -- my oldest and original female -- spawned
for the eleventh time on July 1st. Today marks two weeks that she has been
incubating the eggs in her throat pouch.

Four days prior to that -- on June 27th -- one of Mama Mbuna's oldest female
fry also spawned. She is now on day number eighteen with incubating her
eggs.

There was a third younger female who was also holding eggs, but she appears
to have lost them. Now and then it seems like she might still be holding a
few eggs, but today it again appears that her throat is empty.

There are a number of other young females in the tank -- all Mama Mbuna's
fry -- but they haven't reached spawning age yet.
