RGDs and Others

It's been well over a year since I've posted pictures and a couple of the golden's have really changed. Kenny said they're my fish so I can call them what I want :), I'm hoping they qualify as RGDs.

But first their siblings. Offspring of 2 Red Cover x Virgin Red pair with recessive golden gene

RGD Pair with Female RGD up front. This picture is probably the most accurate color wise.

More pictures soon of the new additions from Kenny via Nathan.

Indeed they have, and I'm not even sure if the pictures do them justice. To think one of them is my avatar picture.

Thanks Pat. Now if I just had your camera and your photography skills maybe I could do them justice.

Thanks all.

Pat - perhaps just as well you live so far away, you'd undoubtedly be a bad influence with your beautiful wilds. :)

You know where to send them if you want them to breed.

Patience, good food and usually nature takes it's course :) Must admit I have a soft spot for reds ...

I'm sure you were, and I didn't want to disappoint you.

Thanks Paul, hopefully one of these days I'll get a really good picture of them. I really don't think my pictures even do them justice, especially the female.

Re: RGDs and Others

Nope, nobody's laid eggs in the fishcave in awhile. I just moved all the fish around last weekend in hopes a new environment might shake things up. These two pairs along with two other suspected ones all got moved into the 72, and the previous residents in the 72 went to the 55. At the moment all the breeder tanks are empty and waiting.
