    Default I have 3 heckel crosses!!!

    I know you all want pictures. I need to figure out how to post pics again. It has been some time since I posted photos.

    I've been without the internet since moving and getting the fish. I have been wanting to share for about 3 weeks.

    I got them from Lawrence at lucky tropical. I always told myself if I could get heckel crosses it would be the only fish I needed. We will see. I have a proven pair and a fish that is absolutely outstanding! I feel like a kid at christmas.

    I hope to have pics up tonight!!!

    Ah you are so lucky! You have a proven pair of heckel crosses from lawrence?? I would of ordered some but have no room at the moment, maybe he'll offer them some other time. Or maybe you will get fry! Can't wait to see the pictures.

    I can't get a good pic of the pair. Looks like another hobby I will have to improve at. Sorry

    WOW!!! *Jawdrops*, You have a very nice piece there, great shape and pattern, and obviously the heckel bar. Now now, where is the other half, it wouldn't be a pair without two right

    Edit: The pic is great, at least there is no reflection from flash (if applicable) and the angle is perfect.

    DiscusKev: This is a single fish. The pair have a stump in their tank they stay behind. I'll pull the wood out once the wife gets back to take pics.

    babakaty: The move is a work in progress. I had to have the house rewired just to get internet service. I definitely was going through SD withdraw!!! How's everything going for you?

    I will get more pics up soon.

    Thank you all for the comments.

    Rob id like to see all of your heckle crosses.I was really interested in them but Lawrence said they wouldnt have the bar do all of your have the bars? I couldnt see paying the price if the bars arent prominent the one you have shown looks great. Good luck with them

    Sorry for the continued delay. It's really busy here. kids going back to school, death of a family friend, still unpacking and basketball tornament in Phoniex this weekend. haven't gotten the wife to take pics yet.

    ockyra215: the pair have the bar also. they are not the same strain, but just as beautiful. I want a tank full of them. These fish are definitely the most expensive pet in our house. It's worth it to me!
