Fry are now around about 4-5 months old I think
and are doing great

Looking good, Congrats!

How many fry do you have now from the spawn? Any chance of a group shot?

Nice - is this carpintis, or actually cyanoguttatus? Use of "Texas" and "Escondido" is confusing to me.

 

[JesseDavidson]

They are carpintis

And here is a group shot, not great quality tho

 

[JesseDavidson]

They are all scattered around the tank so that's only half of them
