Before and After Jag,Freddy, Mota and pleco

[takinap]

I found some old pics of some of my guys and decided to put them side by side to see how they've grown.
Freddy taken from a video of his 30 Gallon growout. He was so scared i couldn't get a pic, had to film him with tripod, haha.

Taken a while back, but pretty much his size now.

My mota when I first got him/her.

And now he/she all grown up in the 220, with and without flash, cam sucks trying to get full color.

Jag, barely as big as a frozen bloodworm cube.

And now, grown a lil since pic was taken.

Pleco, absurdly small in a 10 gallon with a Ram.

And now in the 220 pushing 10 inches.

Its amazing looking back at when things were small, this goes with any living thing.

But why so much red on the tail? I was curious as to whether its a hybrid, so much red but a lot of kind of blue/green on the top, I dunno maybe ill start another thread to get an ID.
