Re:New fish....
These are Heckel X Red Alenquer babies that Yvan Alleau spawned. Jeff Doty arranged for shipping them and did a great job. They were shipped Monday morning and I picked them up at the Delta Dash office Monday evening. The water in the bags were still warm -- first time I experienced this with fish shipments. I mean, they were warm to the touch and it was around 30F that day in Minneapolis.
Its tough to get a picture of the babies, but you can see that they're all very high finned. They're also quite red when you see them against a white background. After 2 days of acclimation, they've been pounding down the beefheart big time.
Great job, Jeff & Yvan!

Re:New fish....
Hey, those little guys look familiar!!
Glad they are doing so well. Always nice to get some feedback on the discus and the shipping.
Please keep us updated on their progress. We kept a few also, so it will be really neat to watch them grow. I think they will have a lot of potential. Not to mention, if we can get them to pair up eventually, there should be some really nice F2 generation fry!
Here is a picture of Mom (Alenquer) and Dad (Heckel Blue Face).
Congratulations to you all, and thank you again. It was so nice dealing with you!

Re:New fish....
1 question: how old are they and what's the size of them now? 1.5 - 2"?

Re:New fish....
So cute! I love that black bar in the head. I can't wait to see what they'll look like.

Re:New fish....
wezey did u see my question? ???
-
Re:New fish....
No Sly... I didn't. I'm sorry!!!!!! Mine are 1 to 1.5 inches big and I think they are 6-8 weeks old???? Willie may know this answer, I am not sure on how old.

Re:New fish....
Sly,
Sorry, I missed your question too. They are about 3 months old, and ranged in size from 1.5 inches to 2.5 inches.
They seem to be slow growing, and I think as F1 discus they will also mature slowly.
The parents are about 4.5 inches, body only, average size.

Re:New fish....
thanks wezey & Jeff..IMO their growth is too low..their eyes are a little too big..do keep us updated on the fish in a month later. Hope no offence is taken.
