    Default update Jan/2/2008

    Hi All,

    These fish from Al are doing great! begging for food whenever they see me.

    for maintenance I'm changing about 25% of the tank every night and wiping down the glass every couple days or so.

    I'm feeding them 3-5 times per day mainly BH mix and some flakes, every couple days I give a feeding of freeze dried krill or mysis shrimps.

    As far as growth I would say they are all about even and I don't notice any difference in growth between the browns and albino frys.

    What I do notice but it doesn't come out in pics is a very beautifull red trim on the dorsal and anal fins on most of them.

    Here are the pics I just took.

    Looking good, Jason! I agree with the red along both the dorsal and anal fins. I've been trying to get some pics highlighting this but unsuccessful.

    OMG !
    Yours are just beautiful too !
    I DO love those albinos.
    I don't know why, I was thinking the "control people" didn't have challenge fish ! Now that wouldn't make much sense would it ? I guess I'm not to bright, huh ?
    Well I'm glad I checked, it will be interesting to see how the albinos do too ! And what the differences are between the two.

    The redish stripe gives a more astounding look.
