Motivational Thread for the Challengers...

[brewmaster15]

Never hurts to have some motivational reinforcement in a contest. So I snapped some pics this morning of the parents of your Contest Fry with their new batch of fry and thought I would share a few.. I would love to see you guys post pics one day of your contest fry all grown up and paired up and carrying fry too!

Ok I admit there was a bit of "I really want to show these Pics" but I honestly did take them with the intent of this thread.:)

Those are some awesome pictures!

The small-patterned detail on the parent's faces is gorgeous.

[sanjay21]

Oh man !! I have no words to describe those beautiful pictures you shot !!

[fljones3]

I just slowly, very slowly scrolled by the pictures. I kept saying, "Absolutely Beautiful."

[Second Hand Pat]

That's the one I like the best also Liz. I love the way the fry are framed by the parents.

Oh my Lanta! I keep going back too! The fish and picks are amazing. The colors and fine lines on this pair are show quality. Getting fish from this stock would be prize enough for me. Wow! This pic should be nominated, but I can’t pic a favorite!

Great shots Al! I've always wanted to shoot a fry group like this but have never had the opportunity. I'm so jealous!
I love the 2nd one. I see some PS potential, but you know me, always mess with shots in PP

[brewmaster15]

Thank you very much everyone! Glad you like the images!
Al

[danotaylor]

[Tshethar]

Hi Al,

I'm really enjoying the Grow out challenge. Any chance you will be adding to the challenge with a round two with these fry?

That’s a great question Craig! I don’t know where I’d put the adults, but I have time to figure that out. I have a 10 and 20 gal and have learned a lot from contestants in this challenge. I’d be both nail biting and thrilling wouldn’t it?

Mr. Al I would love to purchase some of your fry. I am a beginner and have to go get my tank setup and cycling before I accepting them. Would you have 8-10 for me when I'm ready? Parents are stunning. Martha
