Wild Tefe F1 Juvies "Batch A"

[Second Hand Pat]

These Tefe F1 juvies are from the first successful spawn in the "Wild Tefe Spawn" thread. I consider these juvies to be Batch A as there is a another successful spawn where the wigglers are nine days old.

This spawn is about 40 strong and a couple of days ago I split out the larger ones from the smaller ones to give the smaller ones less food competition. The following pictures are the larger ones and there is some interesting color developing on these guys.

Group shots.





Single shots. The last picture shows some fin coloration forming.

They look great Pat.
Just out of curiosity are they bigger than silver dollars? Are they 3"? I can't tell from the pics.

Thanks Fred, these are the larger of the fry and I know they are over 2 inches. I will put a point of reference up for the next set of pictures.

There is one fry in this video who is going to have some crazy color as it matures. Right at 53 second in look in the finnage below/above the tail. Those little markings are red.

Thanks Henry, they are shaping up into some very nice fry I am quite happy with them.

Looking nice and round now Pat with fins erect and 'clean' bodies. I think you'll also be surprised how quickly the smaller siblings will catch up . . . A huge difference from a couple of weeks ago.

Wow and thanks Trevor, yours is the second request from "up north". No worries. I will be using this thread to track these F1s development. I believe you are correct that there will be some killer F1s from this group.
