Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

I don't think they can spawn and hatch in an hour or two. I know guppies and some other fish are livebearers so when you say there is no such thing I don't know what qualifies as a minnow.it's shaped like a minnow and acts like a minnow.
