In an attempt to get back on track, with my Firemouth breeding programme, I decided to buy 6 new baby Firemouths (approx 1.5" in length). At first I took a little 3 hour tour around my local Aquarium stores to have a look at some of the larger specimens on offer but could only find really poor quality (the colors extremely drab with absolutely no potential)... So I ended up studying these baby FMs and decided that even at their small size their colors were good enough and held enough quality
