That's just silly....why they no look same same then?

All fish have their own unique patterns. And in the f1 generation you get a big variation in patterns etc. man your a funny guy. How bout that new filter project?

I'm so confused.

Yellow


Lime


F1 galore




Gangster, the new filter is coming along. If you like the glass filter wait till you see this one. Designed for bottom dweller and self cleaning....you funny.

the variation is crazy considering their all from the same batch... I can defiantly see and understand the question and wonder how myself.. Looking great though Ken!

WOW awesome!

The reason for the variations is they are confused on what to look like with those ugly ars parrots in there. I actually kinda like the parrots in there.

prime example that even though from the same batch some will come out not looking the same..awesome job growing them out bro..

Thanks for all the comments guys.
Same batch, parents, tank, food, water and still the variations. Weird.
I was hoping HCR's grow out thread would prove variations in xingus between keepers but my tank shows variations within the same tank. So buying young cichlas is a crap shoot. All the keeper can do is bring out the best in each.
Gangster and bassguy, if you only knew the secret in keeping BP with cichla. Do the math....????? They have done well for me....haha.
