Update of my Female Con and her male.

[Kaosu]

..wish I could get shots of my male with his bars in full show
They are starting to breed again so maybe in a few more days.

I rescued this little female a year and a month ago! she was so tiny..and is about 3 inches now
her male is pushing 5. She beats him up! and he is the most timid male con Iv seen.

Him

He colors up amazingly...but not for the camera

Enjoy comments/questions wanted!

Beautiful cons! I bought 5 juveniles about 2 months ago to start a breeding group and it turns out they're all females.. *sigh*

Thank you ^_^ really do love these underrepresented fish!

...and it looks like you get to pick the best female and go fish shopping for a male!

I don't see a tail on the female?

Beautiful pair and tank.

Love that male!

thank you! ^_^
I do to..he is turning out to be a stunner!..the pics don't do him justice at all..im hoping to get some pics of him all colored up he is deep purple/blue tail and wonderful stripes...he just hates the camera and pails out every time.
He is incredibly docile male as well.

Nice looking pair Kaosu, I always liked that female, does she have a name? I also like the long, streaming fins that male cons get when their bigger!

She is a mean little jewel of a fish..never really gave her a name..she just passed the one year mark of me getting her, Iv only named one fish..my sculpin Shelob (avatar pic )

Yes his trailers are coming in nicely! hes got some amazing fins..i really lucked out with how stunning they both turned out,...shes got some long streamers for a female as well ..i bet if i ever grew out there fry they would be amazing.
