Post your Up & Comer

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Right now just a 40 breeder that was supposed to be my fry tank. With a clay gravel bottom and lots of driftwood and a few plants. I had 6 neon tetras in there keeping it cycled. Along with about thirty convict fry. This afternoon I looked in there and I'm down to 4 neons and I only see about 5 of the convict fry lol.
 
Lol im sure he is fat and happy

Yeah, he was the only "silver edged" in a tank full of golds or oranges. And he was definitely running the tank. Hell he is showing his own reflection who is boss ATM. I say "silver edged" because I really have no clue since this was simply a petland. But the fish guy there orders both nsl and southern delight and gets cool cichlids every now and again. So I stop by when I need food.
 
Oh man, guys.. I just stopped in for some southern delight and I found this little guy. I couldn't resist barely even 3 inches and flaring at everything in the display tank mini nuchal hump and what colors... bah damn you...I swore i was done with new fish for a while.

That's how I feel every time I see a nice little green terror at lfs it's hard to say no but I think of how bad he would terrorize my calmer sa cichlids
