First off here's an update on that 10" EBJD I rescued. He's doing very well and eating pretty good, I'm trying to fatten him up some more. His right eye is sunken in and I don't know if that can be healed. His fins are growing back nicely and the gash he had on his forehead is healing nicely. This guy will be a stunner! I rescued this guy with another 10 incher that died on the first night.



next is my other EBJD and blue gene female with their THIRD spawn!! she always beats him up after the eggs are fertilized so I have to separate them for a little bit, but they eventually make up. Male is 6.5"-7" eyeballing. female is ~5". He wouldn't come out from behind this pot for pictures!



next up is my first spawn. 1" blue genes, I left them with parents for like 4 weeks but they kept eating them so I had no blues in this small batch.
They are 1" in size now and eating like pigs! and the other pictures are from the second batch of fry. I took them out as soon as they were free swimming and i now have A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT more than the first batch!!



Last but not least is my Festae from UMBEEKING!!! they are eating like pigs!!!!!! I have a runt in there that gets picked on and might have to separate but the others are doing GREAT!! I also changed the substrate for pool sand! looks much better! they are super camera shy so I couldn't get ANY good pictures, especially of the biggest one.
