This thread will be dedicated to photos of fry from my altum flora male and blue female (a blue diamond x blue SS cross).

Pictures of the parents. These are Tony Tan fish, the male is the 'tall/altum' body type and very large. The female is quite small, 5" at a stretch, and was this size when I received her. I move her into a young adult grow-out a few days ago to see if she can get a little bigger.

The parents had a pretty big falling-out, and I picked dad to stay with the fry due to his greater surface area
They were both being really good parents, just not good 'marital partners.'
