NO FLASH...TRYING TO CAPTURE THE TRUE COLOR...

[R1_Ridah]

not as hot as some of your pbass...not even close hahaha

I'm sure yours are right up there with mine. If you want we can test it out and you can bring those bad boys to me. We'll put them together and compare....

Seriously, Orino's are one of the hottest Peas. The colors are intense. They develop into such awesome Green hue's w/yellow, blue..with a hint of red. They represent every color for Pea's..LOL

i agree...they are quite colorful...

i would love to put them together and compare hahaha but how about in my tank since your tank is so big and packed with so many other great pbass specimens that can make the comparison difficult haha...how about you bring over one azul, one kelberi, and one intermideate to my place and we can do a more close examination hahaha

she's pushing 9"...she was the faster grower of the 2 that i had...how about yours?...my albino short bodies are growing pretty good too...the largest one is around 5"...

holy ship!!!! awesome collection.....

thanks...but not as controvercial or as packed as it was back in the days hahaha...

That's impressive! Mine has been growing fairly slow, he's at a solid 8" now.

There is a big gradient in the growth rate of the SB's. The largest one is 4", the smallest one is 3", the others are somewhere in between.

I'm looking forward to more pics!

mine too...i'm glad i'm not the only one experiencing a variety of grow rates for the albino short bodies hahaha...

yeah i feed the plat all the time hahaha...cichlid gold sinking pellets, market shrimp, smelt, anchovies, and some dry krill if it makes it to the bottom...

but lately the plat slowed down in length but gaining girth...just as good i guess hahaha...would be nice to have a 14" plat senegalus 1.5 inch in diameter hahaha

Nice! I've heard that they gain girth rather than length at sexual maturity, but there's still hope it'll hit the 12" mark. Usually growth slows around the size we've got them at anyways.

yeah...it seems like it...like most fish...gorwth slows down as they reach maturity haha...mine is a female i think...any clue what sex yours is?..
