Better hope you have enough room up there when they start telling ALL their friends!
Did you see it swim up the waterfall? I would guess the 3 you moved to the lower pool are still there, and you are seeing #4, 5, 6, 7 etc. in the upper pool.
A fry would have to be an amazing swimmer to make it against that current for 1 foot also against gravity.

I can understand how hard to believe this is, I'd have a hard time myself if I wouldn't have seen it with my own eyes but I did.
They swim standing straight up and then they jump, takes them several attempts but eventually they succeed .
They 3 larger ones are about 4", they look very distinct from all the others: one is all orange, one is yellow and the third one is white with orange markings, the rest of the babies are about 2.5" either yellow or olive color
