    My Red Turks were about that size when I got them and I started them on flake food and FDBW without a problem. You could have just taken a few of mine you know lol. I'm running out of room here!!

    It's been 5 months now since I've gotten these guys so I thought it would be fitting to give a little update. Here is when I got them.

    And here is what they have become. Not to bad actually.

    They didn't turn out half bad, I particularly like the last one. I've got a nice mate waiting here for her.

    next time you in a LFS and follow the sale guy, if he is using the same hand net for all tanks ..... then that is a good sign all fishes in the store are contaminated, regardless of sources. If you have a good QT system then chances are you will overcome. For a beginner, he/she will end up with dead fishes in a couple of weeks.

    Great job Brandon raising them.

    As Keith said, the last one is very nice.

    It will soon be time to start breeding.

    Thanks Trish, Keith and Jeff. The last one is a beauty but he/ she has a blemish on the other side.

    I'm not sure if that is an inherited thing or not. I was bummed when that popped up.
