Pictures only thread, to show progress
This took me an hour or so to figure out (mostly, trying to keep dates straight)
I tried to pull screenshots from my videos (in addition to pictures I took)
Looking back, I'd much rather have these pictures than the videos I took (lower quality)
Enjoy! I'll continue to post normal updates in the other thread, this is just for people to easily peruse pictures and see progress (without having to go through 100 pages of thread)

Female. Not typical of a straight line, but same strain. She's a bit of an odd ball

Surrogate male as the parent (same strain, but he has better parenting skills). This is day '0' (first day of attachment)

December 9th pictures. Nothing terribly new. The red is slowly spreading through the body. Slow growth. Nothing interesting. A bit bored with them.<br>
I believe this is day 199 (rough estimate)

December 23rd pictures. I believe this is day 213 or so. Much more exciting than December 9th, looking back. The red is mostly through the body. They're starting to look promising in color. I might have to call them 'spotted turks'
<br> I'm excited about them, again. I hope they grow another 2 inches. I need to measure the size, but guessing a solid 4" on a few<br><br>

Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
Thats Awesome....what size tank is that you used to grow them out?
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
I went from a 29 gallon with parents
To a 20 gallon when they were tiny and separated
to a 55 gallon
to a 75 gallon
And then the 8 were moved to a 35 gallon cube
I'm debating moving the 8 to their own 55, as they continue to grow
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
They are looking great and growing fast. 55g will be the way to go.
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
Hey Harry. Looking good. I have witnessed similar developement in this strain in my tanks. Once they start it's really cool how the striations form and the colors brighten....right? Keep up the good work my friend.:D
Joe
PS: Check your PM
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
what a great timeline - they really are looking good!
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
Great thread, how about a one post documentation of feeding schedule and changes as threy grew, water change routine/parameters and any adjustments you might have made along the way (tds, etc).
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
harry, really like this thread. get to see how mine will look several weeks in advance

Agreed. They're slow to develop (some say a year before they get their colors), but I hope it worth the wait

Yup, much needed. I'll work on that next
Those pictures probably took me closer to 2 hours to compile. Nothing better for a Friday!

Yup, I think you're only 2 weeks behind. The colors sneak up on you. One minute you think they're boring and bland...
And then you look back and the development can be impressive
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
Oh wow fantastic timeline!
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
Really nice growth, you have done a great job!
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
Harry, absolutely amazing. This group is showing excellent colour development for the strain. I'm not sure if you realize it or not, but piwos typicalll don't start to develop colour like that until much later, so you've done an excellent job. My piwo redturks were the better part of a year old before they started to colour up. This thread makes me wish I had more tank space and a female to go along with my male.
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
Great job . I'm kicking my self for trading away my piwo turks for the wild i have now. The growth on the fish are awesome. What is your secret? What were you feeding them during the different stages
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
Re: Pictures only thread, to show progress
They are growing very well... Words cannot describe how nice they are. I see some with high body gene and very round. These will grow to be amazing looking.
