New Photo ~ Jumbo & Friends

[Aquamojo]

Finally a good shot of one of the "Red Cheek" Robertsoni in the grow out tank. There is one male that keeps a low profile. I am striving to get a good shot of that fish. Really spectacular.

Some of the breding pair of Bifasciatum...just before they get ready to breed. I say that becasue they breed A LOT.... That particular "shade" of Bifasciatum is drained of this intense coloration. The male is about 11"...still room to grow. THey are in a divided 150 gallon tank with five 4" Metynsis and a scattering of small Pleco. One other small fish of note is a Wood Cat that is only about five inches. I thought the fish was dead for like three years. Then it appeared out of nowhere. Ended up hiding (wedged) in a piece of driftwood. I have had the fish for an additional six years. SO he has been around the block.

Here's a really old photo of the fish:

The good stuff:

The Honduran Parachromis...anyone notice anything different???:

Trying to figure out what is different. Looks like maybe they are losing their gold color and turning more of a platinium color?? Maybe I am missing something obvious here.

The ovipositor is showing. They are breeding...or attempting to breed for the first time.
