Trade in at LFS was a batch of these pinks,so i picked these two.....Male is 2 1/2" and he's got more hump than my FH!!!The pics are from a cell-phone so his hump is actually bigger than shown,oh,and his spawning partner (yes,already) has humpage too!! I can tell these guys are gonna get big-er for cons and have nice humps!!

Nice trade bro. Although Ive been told that once cons start to breed they sorta stop growing, or just dont reach full size potential.

All good.....the young will of course be used as a food source for my X1 and FH when culling time comes......i'll keep a few to sell and breed back,see if i can't get that hump bigger.....maybe even cross him with an HRP,they got a BREEDING PAIR at another LFS out here.Sweet options.
 
Nice looking short bodied cons there.

I have 3 pair of cons, 2 pink and 1 black. All three pairs started breeding with the males at 2" and the female at 1 1/2". That was 9 months ago, all 3 males are now 4"s plus and the females are 3". All the cons are 15 months old.

Sweet Cons you got. I'd go and pickup that HRP pair. Not to many come this way.

I don't think he was planning on selling the fry so flooding the market is probably the least of his concerns.
