    Default Snakeskin Fry Update

    A few picks of the fry I kept to grow out from my snakeskin pair.

    (Sorry about the flash. I'll work on that.)

    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! - Hunter S Thompson

    That'd be great Leland. Feel free to post them in this thread. I just hope I'm not jealous of the fish I sent you!

    Thanks Rick. Ya, that was the point of committing to this pair. The male is about an 8" HB snakeskin I got from Kenny 5 years ago. I wanted to get his size and shape into some fry.

    Thanks Mo - That's basically the gig - keeping it clean. I've got 15 fish in that 75 gal. As long as I change water and clean up, they seem to do great. They're from different batches, so the size differences. I'm thinking about pulling out the larger ones. Space is the other factor.

    Steve,
    " I'm thinking about pulling out the larger ones. Space is the other factor."
    Definitely, being the kind person I am I will be glad to take them off your hands, in fact, I am willing to pay for their ticket to come to Alabama. It was 72 degrees here today, they will love it.

    Were you selling these a little while back ? If so I'll be keeping an eye out for the next batch
