I'm growing these out in my 55 currently. Fish include:

0.0.1 Carpintis 3"
0.0.1 Kamalau x Super Red Dragon Flowerhorn 2"
0.0.1 Blood Parrot with closing mouth (KKP?) 2"
3.0.0 Carpintis x Blood Parrot (bred by me) 2"-3"
1.0.0 HRP? Bought as Convict. 2.5"
0.1.0 Synspilum 3"

The bigger Carpintis x BP is from the first batch, the smaller two are from the second batch. One of the smaller one appears to either be fading or getting really orange but not fading? It has orange fins, the others definitely do not.

Any fighting?

nice collection!

None between any of the fish, except for the flowerhorn a bit. It's been going for about a month now with no problems. I figure once one starts get out of line, I'll separate it out into another tank. I plan on growing them to 4-5 inches then getting rid of the ones I don't want and keeping one or two.

That Syn is excellent looking! Great collection.

great fish! What are your plans with them?

 

[nickbachman]

Growing out the carpintis x BP fry until one fades, then I'm getting rid of the rest. I plan to breed the syn to a flowerhorn at some point. I'm growing out the flowerhorn to see if it's male, if not I'll sell it. The rest I'm just growing to see what they turn out like.

The carpintis x BP look sweet. The BP is not a KKP. I would call that FH a ZZ.

I'll be interested to see what the BP looks like as an adult. The flowerhorn's parents are pretty nice, I think it has some potential.
