    Default 01/03/08 Ringin' in the new year

    Well, these guys are doin' great for me. It cracks me up every time I enter where they are, they swim to the top lookin' for food. I can differentiate only two of the three from the original group only because they are prominently barless. One is also the largest of the entire group. I haven't put a tape to him but he is definitely 2"+ They are all quite aggresive at meal time and some sibling rivalry is evident throughout the day.

    Here are some pics and a video for your enjoyment:







    Is this not a wierd look'n pic?:

    I doesn't hurt that they came from great stock and great grandaddy.

    Thank you! I can't even tell Rudy apart from the other ones. I have an idea since there are a couple that are really territorial, my guess he's one of those. Poo, well he's still poo. You can see him in the video hording and pushing everyone away from the food. He's a real PITA sometimes.

    Thanks everyone for the compliments! This challenge is a great learning tool for myself as I'm sure for the other Challengers as well. I get a lot of enjoyment out of just watchin' these li'l guys and gals.

    Thanks for the comments Mark, Andrew, Ardan, and B! They are coming along quite nicely. They have since been moved to a longer tank this past Saturday. Growing great and still spunky as ever. I'll be posting updated pics probably next week. Some of these guys are starting to get blue in their finnage and heads.
