    Default 6/8/2009 Update

    Here's this weeks pics. I ordered them by size, largest to smallest. There's actually quite a bit of difference between them. Everyone eats very well and they all have nice fat bellys after a meal. It seems they eat together peacfully enough and then after the meal the fighting starts. At this point there's no one or two that are bullys, they tend to just chase each other around the tank.

    Water parameter's are unchanged, feeding and w/c schedule seems to working great. No problems at all to report. I'm still waiting for the canister filter to cycle.

    That's it! Enjoy the pics. No video this week. I've had a very busy couple a days.

    lookin great Steve O!! keep up the great work my friend Iv noticed these types kind of get their stripes in vertical lines. I cant really explain it, but on my albino spotted leopard, its filling in with its pattern with almost like a "stress bar of spotting pattern" just a strip from top to bottom of spots. yours may develop the same way.
