    WOW, just WOW! Lovely patternless color too!

    We need an update on your routine on them or is it still the same? tank? food? etc

    Thanks Jason. The PE shrimp are awesome! All my fish are killing. They are getting very spoiled lately. I thing these PE shrimp are worth the $26 a pound, i just do not feed too much. I will post some photos of my other fish soon. No problem on the PP, hopefully you will not use it. Talk to you soon about the BH.

    David and Ed,
    no changes to my w/c routine, still 80% every morning. I have made some changes to their food though. I have cut back on the b/h mix to once daily as they have lost interest in it, i guess they are getting spoiled and only want the frozen PE shrimp, freeze dried black worms and frozen krill. I have been feeding blood worms once daily in an attempt to improve their eye color. The tank is still the same 100 gal show tank at 34" deep. I have no plans on moving them until the contest is over. Thanks for the positive feed back.

    Kenny

    Thank you Ricardo, nice job as well raising yours up. I would like to see some photos.

    Fish are looking great, but instead of getting a "larger pair of calipers" just switch over to SL instead of TL.
