My NOT So Little Growout Project
Some of you may know that I received four Altum Flora Christmas week. I placed them in a 40 breeder with daily 90% or better and all the food they could eat. They started out very shy being such a small group and this has continued up until this past week. I sort of figured that as they grew they would become braver and this seems to be happening. All four have grown a full half inch or better since I received them and yes, I verified this with a ruler. So to date three are at four inches or better and one is just over four and a half inches.
They eat everything I give them and they eat small portions throughout the day. I was finally able to get pictures without they running for the hills.

Thanks Chad, the camera is not picking up the blue. They are quite striking.
Re: My Little Growout Project
Love the brown shimmer in the face... is that only in the juveniles, or will they retain that? Beautiful!!
Re: My Little Growout Project
Thanks, I do not really know as I have not had these as adults.

Great pictures Pat, Kenny's fish grow like mad, and I really mean they grow. My little guys grow about 1/2 an inch a week. Your guys are going to be very pretty.

Re: My Little Growout Project
A little video to show how these guys are doing. You will still a bit shy but man they eat great when left alone. I measured the two largest ones and they are both four and a half inches. Woot. Music is still being added.
