Awesome Ken. To me the dalmation spots make the bahias look unique and amazing. And u get a new camera?

Same Sure Shot camera. Thanks everyone for the comments.
 
Ken, they look sweet. On the Kel note: I bought a couple from Jeff Rapps and a couple from SA. Although they are both bahias @ about 9-10" now, they are developing differently. Jeff's seem to be bright yellow with minimal red and SA's are goldish with red on their fins. The one you may have seen in the 600 gallon is one of Jeffs largeWC Kels he imported. The Rapps 4 bars took a long time to mature, the large at 11" and the smaller at 9.5 is just starting to show color. The bahias showed color at 4 inches. I am curious the different bahia variants from thee captive breed fish.

Anyway, your kels look awesome.

Yeah, I notice the differences. I'm sure there are more than one breeding pair. We can only grow them out and see what they turn out to be. I think they start to show their true colors at one year and continue into the second year. That's part of the fun...even though the first few months were pretty boring.

You can definately see the adult colors in yours. I only have one that is showing adult bright colors/spangling. It is worth the wait.
