Today In The Fishroom~11-14-10 Miniature Managuense

[Aquamojo]

Nice close up of F1 P. managuense fry at just under one inch. You can see how large the eye is in comparison to the rest of his body.

I have more juvenile photos on my Aquamojo Face Book page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Aquamojo/106429889424156?v=wall

Does the eye stay the same size all the way to when it is an adult?

No it grows.

If that fry is < 1" and it's eye only takes up about 1/6 of its length, if the eye never grew you would be barely able to see it on a full grown Jag.

You can see that it already has that nice blue sheen coming in. Another stunner in the making.
