New hybrids

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The hybrids growing average i think have grown maybe 2cm since last update. Munching on pellets as staple diet 5/7 days a week and feeding prawns, pollock, herring and mussels 2/7 days a week right now. Cant wait until they grow bigger. 20190208_202100.jpg
 
Love the patterns. Especially the smaller one
Yeah its actually quite exciting to see how she will develope since she is 50%bd 50% henlei. Her father is a king henlei and her mother is a gorgeous bd. Its hard to see on the picture but some of her spots starting to get a black dot in the center to ring up instead of pure spots. And the bigger wich is a bd/motoro hybridmale starting to get white in its spots and darkens up more and more.

Very exciting. What does king henlei denote? Is that just because of size, collection point, breed? Sorry I’m a noob.

Also are they in your sump in the first pics? I’m always intrigued by how people do different set ups.

Its about their pattern. The king hen get larger spots and rings the a normal hen.

Nope its in a temporary holding tank/grow out in form of an ibctank. The pump you see is connected to a trickle filter placed above the tank. And i do have an 32mm pipe overflow that goes to a 180L sump filled with 70L fluidized media.

I moved these to critters from their temporary home to a tank moved a bay snook breeding pair from today. Cant wait until they grows bigger and matures. They get more stunning from day to day i think.
