Just an update of fishy pics

I thought i'd share some pics of the various fry/juvies/adults we have now I know there is quite a few but i've made them as small as possible (the pics, not the fish)

Fry tank


Little wee fella who escaped the breeding net, i think he wants to get back in


Fuelleborni fry


Interruptus fry - male i think


Socolofi fry that has been in the external filter for a month! Interesting as the others are blue like the male pictured further down


Mpanga Fry (fuelleborni fry behing him just about to say BOO!)




This is the deformed little fella, looks like he swam into the side of the tank real fast He will be staying with me but i don't want him to breed with anyone. He's called Quasi


Fuelleborni Daddy


Fuelleborni Daddy with a Lab


Hongi Male


Socolofi - male i think


Fuelleborni Mummy with a mouthful of babies (we have 3 of these holding at the moment)

Fabulous photos as always, MC.

How big are the fry now? It's hard to tell from the photos but since they're displaying good colouration, they must be a decent size.

Ah poor little Quasi - love the name though.

Thanks Mary.

They are about half an inch in the kitchen tank. We have some bigger ones growing on that are about 2" which are in the 180L.

The fuelleborni daddy is probably the biggest in the main tank at 3", the others are close behind. They will max around 6-7" They look huge now!

Well they look very healthy - obviously good breeding stock.

Lovely photo's MC, thanks for showing them. I didnt realise some of them will grow to 7" - you had better off load some of those fry quick!

Beautiful fish and pics!

Thanks
