Fogo growouts

Good lord they’re all gorgeous!!! I never thought these would come in, now I have no $ or room! Guess I need to ban myself from the cichla thread cause seeing these hurts more than passing kidney stones!
Thanks Wes...............

Been a while so here’s some update shots. Tried messing around with portrait mode for a few of them. Starting to get some red in the face but what’s really impressing me right now is the blue/teal on their backs and rear dorsal fin.

I’ve got different shades of green but they all seem to be showing varying amounts of orange/red. The last 3 photos are all 4 fish for comparison. About halfway through my 2nd bag of BRP, then I’ll do the 2 bags of CBG then probably back to BRP.

so full here - kinda jelly of you guys and your bigger groups of fogo - don’t have much of a sampling of them -

Could just be some “blooming” earlier than others, could be dominance, could just be different patterns. I haven’t seen a bad looking fogo yet though.

I've got a trio and one is red, one is orangish, and one green... I think it just depends on the fish...
