then and now heckles

[jimg]

heckles from snookn then at approx 2.5" now about 6+ (didn't measure)

these two are my pair hopefuls, always side by side. They look much smaller in pics than they actually are.

I feed calif fdbw (switched from worms to flake), ocean nutrition super veggie kelp flake, angels plus brine shrimp flake, used to feed sera discus granules but haven't in last 6 months or so and once a week or so they get frozen brine shrimp and some of the seafood mix I make.

Those heckles are absolutely stunning!!! They really blossomed with all your care. Now if you can determine who's a male maybe we can get a project going Damn nice pictures by the way!

[zimmjeff]

Nice job. Jeff

First I want to say you did a great job in growing these out, they look fantastic. Some of you are going to think I'm crazy but post number 4 picture number 3 is most likely a female. I'm saying this because it has less blue and more red than some of the others. Also watch the altums with the heckels because they still have a lot of growing left in them and in time they will start to become aggressive towards the heckels.

Jim, you did a fantastic job in raising them, they really changed into swans. What was your wc regime?

Very nice! Congrats!

Nice looking heckels ...

I love heckels, but I know few different name of them, but I love the one with full dark center bar, anyone know what they are? thanks

[Second Hand Pat]

Jim can correct but believe these are the Ninini heckels sold last year by John (snookn21) at the 2+ inch size.
