Poor Baby Guppies :(

i actually went back to my dad's hometown which is at Johor for cny. and so happen that my uncle has a loooot of guppies, he decided to give us a few since my sister likes it sooo much.

then today, after we came back from school, my sis realised that one of the pregnant guppy mommy's stomach is really round and BIG. and so, she thinks she should seperate it from the others to let her deliver her babies peacefully. she took a small fish net and then began scooping it out from the small fish tank *at that moment i really admire her cos seriously i don't dare to catch a fish with a net ><*
yer~ the mother fish was struggling and jumping a lot when it was in the net. and beside my sister, i was so worried that it might have a miscarriage or what. not long after, the mommy guppy was already happily swimming in the small container all alone...
but suddenly something caught our attention! we saw two lil tiny eyes almost coming out from the mommy's stomach? (nt sure what it's called) then there it completely came out and down down down it went right to the bottom and it stayed there motionless & curled up. then another one came out, and more and more until there were like about seven of them... but weird! none of them moved! then we actually thought the babies might need some time to adapt to the new environment before they start swimming. we waited and waited and waited. then my sister had a bad feeling that the mother really had a miscarriage, cos the babies looked so dead. then immediately she went to you-tube to check out about baby guppies. she managed to find a few video of guppy giving birth.
and OH NO! in the videos, the baby guppies could move right after they get into contact with the water.

and that was when we started to lose hope... and accepting the truth that the baby guppies are DEAD :(

so pitiful~ :(

my sister felt so bad for she was the one who scooped it out and made it struggle so much in the net. i felt sad more than bad cos i really thought they were going to live~

see, they were so unfortunate, not even given a chance to live, so we lucky ppl here breathing fresh air must reallyreally love ourselves and appreciate every single second of our lives no matter what!
