Beautiful fish Al, I hope I look as good as they do when I'm older. How long are you hoping they will live? Are any of them in breeding mode or all they all one gender?

is still fertile.. Got fry from him a month ago. Theres 4 females and 3 males in there. I do believe they can still breed. As the females age their egg laying really falls off but Ive been surprised by old fish laying a good clutch once in a while. Theres one female snakeskin in there I am sure is going to lay eggs soon.

I knew when I was looking at the first group of pics the 2018 fish was in there! I was gonna ask but then obviously as the thread continued that revelation was made clear.
Such a beautiful group of fish Al, the quality of the pics helps as well. Nice one mate
