Rodrigo thanks for starting this thread. It will be great to see pictures on a regular basis and most of all we get to see the different patterns develop.

I'll see if I can dig up another picture later.
Neither one I would consider a straight line Piwo but that's the fun. To see what developes. What's in the genes!!
If you notice the males dorsal it looks like it has been trimmed. Genetic defect or what I don't know. It's always been that way. I haven seen any of the fry with it.
I used a 50 gal tank for this spawn
Free swimming 11/21/12.
BBS started 11/26/12. Their main food was BBS for 4 weeks. They literally swam with BBS 24/7 for that period. During this time I introduced them to my seafood mix, Discus Bio-gold and Hi-Pro Growth flake from Angelplus. Currently the get seafood mix 2x daily and the flakes to wash down the seafood.
All this time I did twice daily 80% water with 12hr aged tap water. No declor. I use a matrix carbon filter.
Temp 82 F
PH 7.2
TDS~ 100
The rest ain't got a clue.
I picked 10 and tossed them in a 29 before they all went bye-bye.
Conditions and feed hasn't changed still 2x daily water changes I can't get out of the habit.
Most are pushing 3in +
