INTRODUCING my BABY NEETS

Found this pic of a large male Neet.... approx 6" body length, which is a monster in terms of this species.
This male is in normal coloration but they go black with a white central bar during breeding.

I've kept and bred them for a couple of years now.
When a pair breeds, pretty much everything else in the tank that's not MUCH bigger is history. Pretty much like cons. Maybe a little more aggressive.
They're prettiest when guarding the fry and are great parents (at least in my experience).
My pair is guarding about 60 or so 1/2" babies now.

Apparently they've been re-classified into the same group as Hypsophrys nicaraguenis and are now called Hypsophrys nematopus... I guess one can see the resemblance in the shape, but thats about it.
These Neets don't half grow in their early life...they're about an inch long now (body length) and I didn't realise they could get such nice colors aswell... They look like they're starting to shimmer green around the cheeks and fins. They must be from a more colorful strain than I kept all those years ago.
Very cool I've yet to see neets good luck on breeding them

The breeder sent me these pics of the group my Neets came from.... you can see how nicely colored they are. I never realised they could have so much Emerald Green in their faces with a bit of samon pink in their bodies.
You can also make out their nasty orange teeth.
