    Default Sunlight

    at a certain time of day the sun shines through the front window of the house and illuminates a small slice of the tank .. took some pics


    First is Jeckle, the larger of the two Heckel crosses
    Next comes Whitey - the White Butterfly
    Then Turk, the Red Turquise (not quite all in the sunlight but close)
    Lastly, Snake(skin) Plisken - again not quite in the sunlight but close - Blue Snakeskin

    Actually, I hadn't seen all the color in the Heckel cross's Dorsal & Anal Fins before, a very nice surprise

    I am just kidding! She did have some left at the time, but I decided to go full wild! No room now, but it was a tough decision, I racked me brain for a few weeks over it!

    Yours look awesome though, lets see the other guy!

    Love how each fish has a name. The turq looks rather nice. Great sign of a halo developing

    Jekyll and Hyde! How funny is that, I'm reading that in English class currently! Love the Heckel in them by by the way!
    My Aquatic Science teacher gave me the nickname "Fish Whisperer" and I didn't get it for nothing!
