Thanks Ryan, they are nice but still need to do some growing. All three are bowing at each other and staring at the cone.

R, between 4.5 to 5 inches. Definitely need to do some more growing.

[Second Hand Pat]

Well, these two have paired up. I wiped off their first spawn with my thumb just before Christmas. I trying to determine if I will let them play house or not. I want more size of them and they are growing. Guess I could let them play until they get to wiggler stage (assuming they do) and go from there.

You have a pair of Heckel crosses? Pic? :)

[rdiscus]

No just wild pair ... can't have everything like you :)

[Second Hand Pat]

You have quite a nice selection of fish :) cool on pulling your pair. Hope you are successful with them :)

[rdiscus]

Thanks Pat, first time on Wild, so let see ...

[Second Hand Pat]

Ryan, based on my personal experience and what I have been told by my wilds mentors is wilds make better parents then domestics so hopefully you can relax and watch it happen.
