    Default 9-24 Update

    Hi all, Well the weeks have been flying by and the good news is that all have been doing well. They eat pretty much anything I throw in the tank. I did cut the lights down to 6 hours but with my recent work schedule, I don't get to see them much so I switched the lights back up to 10 hours and I'll just deal with the algae cleaning. These fish are always looking for food and they do a real good job of begging to anyone who approaches the tank. These fish have my wife trained to feed them. They beg and she feeds them when I am not home. The eyes are almost all filled in and the golden color with the white and red to me is stunning. I just put in another order for beef heart at are local butcher and this time he will trim it for me which will save me a lot of time. Besides adding in shrimp, clams, scallops, multi vitamins and flake, I might also add krill to the mix. Here is a few pics of these beauties. The green back ground was prior to cleaning.

    Jim, remarkable looking fish specimens. A noticable difference in the before & after shots from the cleaning. Keep up the great job brother!

    Hi Jim,

    They look awesome. Hard not to feed those guys when they beg so much.
    Great job you are doing with them.
    Take care Jim
