new fish from cooler

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I was tempted but limited myself to $200 and those were too expensive @ $35.

For $200 I got the 2 fish I posted 5 red dragon fry, and 3 kamfa fry shipped to my door for exactly $200.

I know I'm a cheap ass but I won't be disappointed with what I got. Far better than what I could have got at the LFS.
 
You'll be really pleased with those kamfa fry I think. Kamfa fry change constantly and always surprise you. I've had tons of fun with mine, and they're not even 3" yet.
 
Ahhh bummer...you've still got one, right? That's better than none. The other guys arrive alright? Lakefishex has some nice fish, can't wait to see what your new guys look like.

I peaked in all the bags and found the 3 kamfa fry not doing so good so I hurried up and acclimated them into some clean water. I got 1 really healthy fish, 1 dead one (who clouded up the water really bad), and one was was dying. I don't know what caused it, they might have been fighting but I think it was because they were only in 1-2" of water. I hurried up and got the healthy one into his tank and messed around with the dying one but he pretty much died right away. Anyways, here are some shots of the healthy one.

So far it hasn't done anything but clean my tank since its been in there. I've already fed it a few different kinds of sinking foods and its only been a few hours lol. I forgot to mention these are supposed to be from LakeFishx. I don't know anything else about them though. It's only about 1", what do you think of it?

here is one of my five 1.5" red dragons from Julie. I grew out 10 of these already, only 5 fry for me this time. This is the one I thought had the most potential. I don't know about the rest yet.

if you want to see the larger ones I grew out just look at my other threads

this guy was from cooler, I was expecting him to be 3" but he's probably 4-5". I don't know if I like him yet but I know I have to let him settle in. I know it's a male but does anybody know the specific strain?

I think that's just some nasty poop coming out right?? It's not part of him but I don't think it's a worm or parasites either. Didn't see it when I was taking pictures.. He acts likes he's hungry already but is just spitting out my pellets. I wonder if they fed him anything live over in Thailand?

..the last fish! I didn't even know what to do with this one at first. I acclimated it slow and then moved it into a 90 gallon with a few 2-4" new worlds but it wasn't getting along so I moved it right away to a 29 gallon that I had a little female flowerhorn in around the same size (2.5") I waited to see how they'd react and took some pictures. Well as I was taking pictures I found out they hated each other so I snapped like 10 quick pictures and removed the female. It didn't take long to end up in it's own 29gallon to grow out by itself lol.

What do you guys think of it? I don't know the sex yet I'm hoping female but I'm pretty sure it's a male. I don't even know the strain. If anybody knows help me out.

and because I took some extra pictures here is one of my 5 plecos that I'm trying to breed in the kamfa fry's tank.

and here is a texas that I plan to hybridize later (going to have a big nuchal hump.) I caught him coming out of a log decoration with his tube down LOL. I think he was getting freaky with a feamle flowerhorn
