so these are my newest little guys, this is just after i put them in their new home... this is a temp grow tank for them, and i put in some tiger barbs as dither fish... as you can see by the pics they were not much longer than the barbs two weeks ago... they have already doubled in size! i have watched the larger of the two take in 4 feeder guppies as a single mouth full! they eat frozen blood worms no prob and anything else including my finger tips when introduced to the tank. supper healthy and lively, which for the age i am very impressed! i cant wait to watch these guys grow up, their colors are great! and they interact flawlessly... i think these guys will go down as the easiest p bass ever! they dont have red eye but they do have orange and they are already quite green. ill get some more pics soon, my roommate has a water proof camera so i promise some better ones... as you can see im a pretty sh*#y photographer and even worse with computers (sorry if they are large!)

i add black water, i think giving them as natural a home as possible when they are first brought into this world is fair... i know i would be pissed if i went from a fairly dark home to a white room with florescent lights! yeah they are good looking and getting better every day, as i said when and if my roommate ever comes home from whore island (girlfriends place) ill get some more pics and put them up! i have been reading marks thread on the tannins from leaves though and thinkin about that, im just worried about plant break down messing up the ph.?.? im pretty sure they are mono, i hope they are out of the two...
