Okay, I posted tons of pictures of the first batch of fry, a few of batches 2 and 3, and these guys are like 7 weeks old and no pictures posted yet. Dad and Mom pictures first though.

They may all be spoken for already, but I'll hang on to them for a bit yet. To date I have never let go of a fish smaller than 2 inches, I just find way too much stuff can go wrong before that point and I'd rather take the risk than sell them to someone inexperienced and have them have trouble.

Thanks, he came via Kenny and Carolina Discus. These babies are something else, 90% of them want to be alphas. I finally stuck a small artificial plant grouping and a piece of driftwood in their tank to distract their attention from each other a little. All that aggression amongst two month olds is a new one on me.

Speaking of aggression, it's now been turned to ripping apart homemade beefheart. No more mashing up any bigger pieces. :) Now where can I set up another tank and grow out half of them?

Yes, actually I have a brand new dry 75 bow that's been sitting in the living room for months that she'd liked moved. Got to finish the final most complicated side of the fishroom though to create the spot for it...and move the couch closer to the plasma.

Is this to keep her occupied so she doesn't notice when you start rearranging the house?

I'm a creature of habit and tend to leave things where they are. Maybe that's why the 72 bow (accidentally said 75 earlier) has been sitting dry in the living room for 6 months. With the new 150GPD RO Unit I bought I'm going to have plenty of water so why not get it up and running again. Maybe by spring if I'm lucky.
