They're all getting big.

This 10" male is the only fish allowed inside my house.

They look great. I got my first Carpintis juvies growing out. They're only 2" now. I hope they look as nice as those bruisers. Only thing is mine are the Rio Tamuin race. Does anyone know if they two are different looking from one another?

Thanks. They grow fast so in no time your 2" Carpintis is going to be a brute. The escondido's were from D. Conkel.
 
Gani I need a female for this boy I got from gary. Hes doing so good. My favorite non crenicichla fish by far. I was hoping that you had a spare female, oh well.....

I have no time to breed them so I'll let you know when I decide to let go of her.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the time!!!!! Thanks homie!!!
 
The sex ratio is not even. I got only one female out of a group of seven. I just wish there were more females available so that everyone can have a pair.

let me know if you ever run outta time with the RTMS :naughty:

my female is even tougher than the festae now... needs a good smacking around that's for sure :nilly: :grinno:
 
Whats up Gary. I've noticed that too. I bought five F1 carps and they all ended up being male. I thought I had given them all away but it seems I had one small one hiding in the rock work. He's a male too.
