Hi RED DEVIL, How old were the fish in the pic? They look great. Always nice to see a good size shoal of fish. Took a pic of some Mel Chipokae fry that were about 1,5-2 weeks old.
I love seeing fry, of different stages of growth, in a tank with adult fish. They seem to appear out of places you least expect fish. My tank, in my house, has about 5 or 6 stages of Pse "elongatus mphanga" fry. The newest being released a couple of days ago.
What size grow out tank do you have them in? The moment I move my fry, from the spawning tanks of about 25-30l, to my grow out tanks of about 80l you can see the difference in rate of growth. They size up in a matter of days.
How often do you feed your fry? I try to give a variation of foods 3x a day.

by common name that first alunocara is sold as a sunburst peacock, only problem is that they are dyed so they lose their "sunburstness" usually the ones that lose color completely turn out to be females, just from personal experience. I have a few also, and they arent albino. Anyways very nice fish =]
