Consideration's when choosing short body fish.

just a few pics I took today............IZzy did your batch arrive yet?? pics?!

Sweet pics bluecan. Hopefully some time next week my 75 gallon will look like that X 8.

Well sort of...I doubt they will be male/female pairs but I will have 8 pair!

Big 'ol bucket of incest in that 75 gallon Izzy.

Correction, should have 8 pairs. Some could be doa, ya never know. They have to make it through being shipped twice in a fairly short period of time. Should also mention I already have one of the (soon to be) sixteen. A 3 inch male (?) from the first batch I bought.

 

[Chrisplosion]

Where you buying from, overseas?

 

[izzy_here]

I had considered that Chris, seriously considering getting some escondidos from jeff raps to add fresh blood. It'll take me a while to breed them back to a short body but they'll be stronger and of more pure carpintes blood.

Yes they're coming from overseas.

So what are you gonna do with 10+ shortbody texs?

 

[izzy_here]

love them lol...buy a 125 gallon with my income tax!

I may consider parting with a few Chris, unsure of when and to whom. I'll probably grow most of them out for as long as possible and then decide what to do.


There will be a 3 foot square by 18" high 90 gallon coming very soon, so I'll have the tank space for a long while.
