i hear ya -that would be bummer for sure !

looks like rod has brought in 3x shipments of these now... mot sure if that’s going to be it or the pipeline is now open?

Growth wise all the big boys have definitely got some more mass to them and their blotching pattern seems to be stretching out to look somewhat Pinima-esque. My tank boss has also got a ton of red coming into his throat already as well! I can't seem to get over how beautiful these bass are. Everyday Im stunned by their colour and fiery behavior.

Looking good Blakewater they do look a like a pinama / Xingu. Lots of similarities in the body and markings. Keep up the good work and keep the posts coming.

As a mini update, here’s some pics on the growth of my baby’s. When they came in the measured a hair over 1”, now they’re almost hitting the 3” mark after about 3.5 weeks. To be honest I expected at least 50% of the 10 wouldn’t make it with how skinny and small they were. Fortunately, only one died from jumping and hitting his head during feeding and all 9 others are doing great! Not to mention, their spangling is really making an appearance. What I really love most is that each one has a unique patttern of spangling and splotching to tell it apart from the others similar to morse code messaging.

The week they arrived:

They are looking good. Was it challenging to get them to eat when you got them?

At first I had to give them some live bloodworms but they’re so ravenous the transition to pellets only took maybe 2 weeks. Not bad at all

Incredible job. Look at those bellies!!!!
