Short Bodied Green Terror.

Whatya guys think? Pics suck, i know (from camera phone).
I was gunnu get him a lady friend but I wasn't 100% positive on sexing with the female. They were too young to be sure.

enjoy

Oh, I also picked this guy up. He's not a hybrid (This being the hybrid forum), but I figured I'd toss him in this thread anyways.

They should stay SB long term right?...
There were at least a couple dozen of these guys at the LFS. two different batches from 2 different vendors. Been waiting a few days for them to color up to pick one. $20
They had SB Flowerhorns too. Cute as hell. I was tempted. I'd been eyeballing them for weeks, but They were just too small and too much. Also $20, but really small and some were sorta tarded...

Yes, a midas. Cant wait to see him grown.

yeah.......

I think I might have to go back tomorrow and pick me up a few more..


I'm curious about breeding...
2 SB's get SB fry? 1 SB and 1 Reg for SB fry? Same breeding line as EBJD's...hmmm it hurts to think right now. I need sleep. Actually first a Boo Boo, then sleep.

Its a % game, the stronger the gene the larger the % of fish. So if you want to get more SB fish you breed SB fish together. You can cross a SB and normal but then your % goes down. The ZINC comes into play but not the way people think it does.
