sajica & syn from rapps

[thor meeki]

4-F1 1" cryptoheros sajica & 1-5" male vieja synspilus "Belize red head".
The syn has been sexed by Jeff.
These guys arrived Dec10, but I wasn't able to get pics of them till now.

Received a nikon coolpix L110 p&s yesterday. (xmas gift from gf)
Not the best for aquarium photos, but it's a nice p&s otherwise.

enjoy...

Thanks Bill, I'm hoping to get a pair out of the 4 sajica.
I've never bred fish before, & I think it's time to see what it's all about.

When I was thinking it over, I wanted fish that wouldn't get too big for an average fish keeper.
I also wanted fish that were showy, fairly hardy, & that are tough to get around here.
I'm hoping that if & when they do breed, I can move them quickly.
Even if the sajica pairing doesn't work out, I still have some really nice fish from a great breeder.

As for the syn, I lost my big redhead (11.5") to bloat.
I wasn't paying attention to the signs, & caught it too late.
I'm trying it again, monster male redheads are a beautiful thing.

I think the pics look pretty good, especially since you just got the camera and are still getting used to it (I'm in exact same situation so I'm on your side lol) great looking fish too
