I've been keeping the lights out over their section of the tank. Amazing how dark it gets in that area just by unplugging one of the LED strips.

I'll get some lighted pics over the weekend, but here's a full tank shot from last night

Nice updated photo. I like the setup. Do the plants help keep your nitrates in check?

Any updates on these?

Yes, you know one is gone so I'll post some updated pics of the 2 left soon. Been very busy with work.

Still doing really well though, great little pups

It's tough trying to take pics of these pups, when I hang out in front of the tank they think it's feeding time and start going crazy. Just over 2 months old now. The female, J is doing well in her new home, these 2 remaining male and female may be sold this weekend. I love the patterns on these hybrids, will be really curious to see how they grow.

And surprise surprise, the mother is pregnant again. More pups coming late summer!

Side by Side, female is larger obviously.



Female in Motion, thought this was a cool shot of the female spinning

very cool looking hybrids!
I like the blue spots amongst the pattern.
Id imagine one of these mixed w/ a marble would be quite the sight.
