    Default A month already???

    Well time has gone by so quick with these little guys. They have coloured up nicely within the last two weeks. I only wish my photo taking would capture it. Photo taking has by far been the biggest challenge for me for this contest to date

    Anyways, not to much to report for this week. I gave all my fish a prazi treatment this week including the contest fish. I will be moving them into a 75 sometime this week once I find the time. Same set up, BB with two sponge filters and a heater. All is going well although I believe that the other contestants seem to be getting a more consistant growth between their fish. I have one large one, a couple mid size and three smaller. I will take some measurements and photos when I move them to give a better idea of what I am talking about, but you can see this in the photos

    All are eating well. Infact so well that I will have to restock my bloodworms and make up a new batch of beefheart, another thing on the to do list

    Thanks for the update Evelyn! Looks like everything's going well for you. Fish look great! I have difficulty with my photography as well.

    Evelyn,

    They are looking fantastic! Why did you treat all of your fish with Prazi? Just curious. I think your photos look great! Well done!

    Best wishes!

    Steve,

    The only difficulty that you have with your photos is that they are not in magazines. LOL! I think your pictures are fantastic!

    Best wishes!

    They look great Evelyn! I was curious about why you used Prazi too. Good luck with the tank change.

    To answer the question....why parzi?

    Every six months or so, I treat all my tanks with Parzi Pro just as a preventative. Seems to work as I haven't had any issues health wise in any fish and it hasn't slowed any growth in the past.

    Hey Evelyn,

    Think your fish are looking great. I like the bars on the upper right fish in the third pic. Looks really good. I also have a couple that are lagging behind. I think everyone else is having more even growth.

    You know, at first I was worried about your picture taking ability...HOWEVER, these last ones were a million times better! Photography is a hobby of mine but photographing fish is no easy task. You'll be a pro by the time the contest is over. Good luck!

    Hi Evelyn,

    Your fish are looking real sharp and continued best of luck to your contest! IME with this Forrest's albino line they should color up some more as they grow. You're doing a wonderful job! I totally hear with about the photo taking part...it's also my biggest challenge every time I have a new shipment coming in lol...

    Take care Evelyn and have fun!
