Check these out Vieja Synspilum x Zonatus

[Vinnielp]

Hi all, This is my first post.

Found these fish on Craig's List the other day. The parents look amazing. The owner's ad has been up for a month with no interest. I emailed him to compliment, and he seems pretty cool.

Check these guys out and let me know what you think. I would like to pick some up but have no room.

Here is the ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/for/1060088755.htmlhttp://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/for/1060088755.html

and pics:

And the parents:

That Sin is sweet! Id like to see the fry fully grown out!

 

[Vinnielp]

Yeah, me too. I'm hoping someone will pick a couple up and post picks. I'd take em but my tank is full.

they look purty plain and quite big now from the looks of the photos.

Judging from the parents you would think they would more color. Ya never know with some crosses.....

 

[Vinnielp]

Yeah, don't most colors come through at around 2.5 to 3"? Could different conditions help to bring out better color?

Do A lot of cross breeds end up looking pretty blah?

I've seen these, they are nice and should color up real nice by the look of both parents.

i have noticed from my own breeding's is that as long as they stay with the batch mates their color is basically their fry colors. separating the fry improves color.
