Baby Festae!!!!

[Sarah88]

Just wanted to show off my little festaes i got from VRWC and do growth thread on them, sadly my camera is not very good and these guys dont stay still for long so pics are kind of blurry but to see really clear pics of them and their parents go to: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=279149

so far they are about 2cm (maybe little less) at around 7 weeks old, and are just the cutest things you never would think they grow into the monsters we all know and love they have even started to recognize me and swim to the front of the tank for food when i walk in

my favorite pic is the one where one of the fry is next to the future feeder

Sweet Sarah! I like growth progression threads. Glad to see theyre good and hanging with the rosies.

yeah i know i was only planning on keeping a single female but the more i watch them and see others posts about them it really tempts me to set up a tank for a pair to be to themselves nothing beats the colors these guys show when breeding!.... though i think my aunt (who is living with me at the moment) would flip if a added another tank lol and yeah they are not shy at all now that they have adjusted, the rosies on the other hand are the most nervous fish i have ever SEEN they are always twitching this way and that, one in the group moves one fin the wrong way and they scatter its kinda ridiculous but i guess i cant blame them they are pretty much the low fish on the totem pole LOL

He wants him now. Get in mah belly!

yeah its only a few of them but they definitely come to the front every time i walk towards the tank lol and yeah saying as the fry are like 1/3 the size of the rosies that would be pretty interesting to see them try LMAO though im sure as soon as they get a little size on them they will be trying their best

 

[Sarah88]

here are some better pics (at least a little better anyways lol) they have grown a little bit though without taking them out and measuring them i couldnt say for sure how much they are actually using all of the tank now instead of staying at the bottom and in some of them you can even see a tiny hint of red on the dorsal fin starting VENT SHOT whats the sex? dang fry shot downward as soon as i pressed button lol, and second to last pic is where you can sort of see hint of darkening on dorsal though flash kind of washed it out

man i really need to get black background......
