Well, I figured I would show you guys some pics and a vid. of the four I have. It's been a tumultuous ($5 word :D) week, but these guys have made it through as have I. They are eating better and more active. They have their own "storage tank" for aged water. It's actually a 29g breeder on the rack above them :). I hope you guys like the pics.

Jose. What great sharp, clean, pictures, not to mention a great video clip. It's good to hear and see that 'Rudy' came through for you. Man are your fish active feeders. Rudy is my favorites too. Hope you can keep 'Poo' under control. Well done mate!!!:D:D:D

Nice little set up you have going on there !!
I wish my family would donate the garage to my cause but, ain't ever gonna happen. They think all fish tanks should be display tanks
:argue: and one tank is enough, I've had to fight for four !
The fish are looking good, I really gotta hand it to you all for even trying this !
Nice pics - Thanks

If fedex doesn't screw it up, Jose's alenquers will be having a reunion with some of their siblings in a few hours.:) I sent him a few more since he had such a rough start. They are a tad smaller than what he has as we have really picked over this batch of fry...but they should catch up in no time.

Everyone has a decent number to work with now...so best of luck everyone!

Jose I'm glad that little hurdle is over for you, your fish are looking great. :)

Thanks, Renae! I don't know what the whole cause of the issue was but what I'm doing now is working out so I'll continue doing so until they are a bit older and tougher.

Nice little set up you have going on there !!

Thank you, B!! I had to finnagle (if that's how you spell it :D) that corner from my wife. There's an eight foot rack to the right of that one with just enough room for my wife's car behind it. I think she gave me the greenlight cause we set her up a little workout area in there for her to train some of her clients on the side.

Looking good Jose. There coloring is looking a whole lot better.

Aren't they looking a lot better, though. Did you see the Amazon sword in the top left tank, Angela? It's got ya'lls name on it :D :D :D

Once again Al, thank you, and as you already know their siblings are here and acclimated. I'll post up a new thread with pics of them later. These seem a lot happier as of now (fingers-crossed). They were a lot more active in the bag, and as of 10 minutes ago were all upright............just ran out there to check, still upright. I went ahead and killed the lights on the tank for now.
