HUNGRY albino photo shoot!

Cooldadddyfunk286 · 11-13-2009, 04:03 AM

heres my hungry albinos. I was just pointing and shooting, one after another, at the same time, enticing them to eat with my hand lol, they were buggin out, I had to snap some pics. also, I really like the way these pics came out. when they are at the top of that tank, the tank light mixed with the flash just makes for some cool pics IMO. have a lookski!

p.s. these fish have been putting on some good growth lately. one of the albino spotteds has sprung up to the biggest in the tank, probably a good 5.5 TL if I had to guess...and when I first got the group, they were 3 inch TL, and that one was smallest. that seems to be the trends in my tanks, LOL! theres been spawning activity in there...just cleaned the canister too. also been feeding some color bits and ON1 pellets. all from Kenny and Forrest. strains are:

1 x albino turquoise
1 x albino yellow white
2 x albino spotted leopards
2 x albino red golden diamond (striated)
1 x albino red golden diamond (solid)

thanks for lookin, take care everyone!!!

nice fish. i noticed some fish with spiky fins on the top. is that normal?

stanlee · 11-14-2009, 11:32 AM

think one of them is a red/white.
what's with the striated fins?
shipping reason?

imho, striated RGD is a cross between a turquoise and a rgd albino.

its a yellow white, striated fins? or edgy fins? dont know why the fins are kinda choppy. as far as the striated ARGDs go, I couldnt tell you the lineage. I figured they were just throwback from the solid ARGDs. still great fish tho, and one was free! Kennys the coolest!

the spikey fins are not from shipping, Iv had these fish for months and months, they didnt come to me like that. Im having jagged fins on the majority of my fish, in most tanks. still trying to pinpoint the reason. I think they look cool tho.

hey, I just wanted to post these shots up that I just took....heres the albino tank KILLING Als BH-seafood mix. literally, I have never seen them eat like this. I feel like I have Eddie Piranha fish!! LOL. out of all my tanks, this ones takes down the BH the fastest! its amazing to watch...once I get my video camera, you'll see!

mmorris · 12-16-2009, 09:58 PM

Lovely fish, Jason. Time for a haircut!

Scribbles · 12-17-2009, 04:43 AM

Your discus look amazing Jason! Great job!

Chris

Cooldadddyfunk286 · 12-17-2009, 02:32 PM

Thanks Chris and Martha! def. time for a good ol' haircut. I'll be choosing a candidate shortly.

Discus-n00b · 12-17-2009, 06:14 PM

Nice fish. Though most appear to be a bit tattered. Like they've been in a fight or something.

Cooldadddyfunk286 · 12-18-2009, 01:26 PM

nah man, there not tattered, the fins have been like that for most of their lives. I have a problem over here with split/jagged fins, im pretty positive its not from fighting. it has something to do with lack of minerals in the water/diet...altho that should be taken care of now that Im feeding an awesome mix from Al, or its bacterial. trying to figure this one out. eventually once I get to the bottom of it, If I choose I'll have to give them all haircuts and hope the fins grow back regularly. this is on fish in every tank minus the big wayne blues in the QT. I think it could be from sharing the python. idk. its most severe in the albino tank...but u know what? those fish are the coolest ones I got...meaning ALWAYS at the front of the tank, lots of spawning activity, alllways super hungry and they kill the food fast, growing nicely...great discus all around, they just have bart simpson hair dews LOL.
