Rapps Trimac 6/08 - 11/08

Hi,

Finally picked up a new camera so I can put together the timeline thread I've been wanting to do. My picture taking skills are not the best as you'll see.

Started out with 8. Fed them NLS Thera+A and frozen Bloodworms/Brine Shrimp w/Spirulina as treats. Here they are when I picked them up from Jeff in June at around 1 - 1 1/2":

I wanted to end up with one male and this is the guy. These pics are from the end of July:

Here he is end of August:

Unfortunately my camera died so I don't have any from Sept & Oct. These are from tonight. I picked up a Sony DSC-50H and have been playing around with it the past couple of days. He's 7" now, from nose to tail and colored up nicely. Jeff truely has excellent stock, I couldn't be happier. I'm feeding him NLS Thera+A, Cichlid BioGold as a staple and Massivore as a treat.

He's got a nice set of teeth on him now also. I couldn't get a good pic but the top two really look like fangs.

Let me know what you think

Thanks for looking.

Thanks!!

Well, his sister killed two of them by picking off the weakest ones at night. I kept her for a while and she was mean as h*ll. I gave her to a friend in NY before she was the only one I had left She's still kicking *ss from what he tells me. Lost two more to aggression and two to an electrical problem in my basement.

Amazing job on raising it.

I got a Trimac too but his middle spots are up to close to his dorsal fins instead of lateral line. It might be a fault if I was ever to show him but he's still a show piece.

Looking really good. The pic quality is far better with the new cam too!
