Wild F1 Cuipeau Fry Group
I had a late visitor this past Friday. Mark (Discus Origins) delivered my long awaited group of F1 Cuipeau fry and man, they are NICE. :grin: I'm in awe. Mark had a shipment to pickup from the Orlando airport and offered to bring them down with him.
Mark has been lucky to have two spawns from his Cuipeau pair and this group is from the second spawn. These fry are 100% wild and about 4 months old.
It was a true honor to actually talk to someone else about wilds and of course the first thing to correct is my mispronunciation of the places the wilds come from like Nhamunda, Tefe, Alenquer and of course Cuipeau. I have tefe correct now but need to hear others spoken again. I can not believe far off I was on Alenquer. :(
Mark stayed about a 1/2 hour and had a nice chat. I do believe he liked the 230.

On Saturday these guys were settling in nice and even coming forward for food. They were not ready for picture taking but took some anyway.
This picture is fairly true to how they look to the naked eye.

With flash so washes out the color.

I took this short clip to show some of the color development. I have to be careful as they are shy of the light.

This thread is a duplicate from my homesteader section so reposted here for wider viewing pleasure. My best guess is these guys range from 2 to 3 inches (eyeball guess). They are currently being feed live blackworms, seafood mix and a little flake.

Wow, I'm sure glad you explained that. I was wondering for a minute there if my wife's surprise 50th birthday party was tougher on me than I thought. The fish look good here too. :D
