New acquisitions - H. carpintis "Vontehillo"

[BLUECAN]

Love these guys, Not sure if I would say they are better than escondido strain.....especially after that one picture of your old female reminded me how stunning they are

..One thing I noticed is that largest male has developed a bit of a head, which doesnt usually happen with the Carpintis unless they are raised in a pond.........could be onto something there for improvement for tank raised texas'? , very nice fish and pics! Definetly my favorite 'purebred'

Wow that is some amazing growth rates. What are you feeding them?

 

[irishfan]

Are all of those from the same batch? Meaning the massive one and the smallest born at the same time?

They're getting fed Hikari, NLS, and omega one pellets. Occasional live blood worms and frozen krill. My marbled crays just started berrying so soon enough they'll get live crays too.

As far as I'm aware they're all from the same batch. So yeah, some very different growth rates.
