trying my luck posting pix

ok so this is really new to me, and i'd like to share some pictures of my fish, but right now all i have is a very crappy little digital camera so my pics dont always come out well, but you can kinda get the point at least.



this is harlequin the baby electric blue jack dempsey and a little bit of one of his standard jack dempsey "friends" - they're all still young enough that they act like they're playing not learning complex behaviors!



this is Gator the pretty much full grown oscar in her current 55 set up



this was an attempt at a close up of Gator's pattern

thanks for putting up with the poorness as i'm learning to make this all work!

nice fish and you do just as well with your crappy cam as I do with my "good" one

nice fish! i have an oscar, i cant wait until he gets that big. does your EBJD get bullied by the regular JDs?

 

[bokononist]

nope, he just does his own thing and the regular jacks just follow each other around like puppies, the electric blue is the bigger of the 4, i also plan to add two more blues when i get paid again since they're going for $30 around here, dunno if thats normal but i can only find them one place...

oh, and gator went from about 1" tiny thing when we got her to this, she hasnt grown too much for maybe the past year and a half, but we got her in early 2003, i'm very proud of her, only issue has been she got a bacterial infection when we went on vacation a while back and it made one of her eyes not functional, it still moves, just its flat on the outside, but she does really well despite it, even eats live crayfish still sometimes! shes definintely my baby

It may be the shots but I think Gator has bad case of HITH disease. Your little ebjd is very bright colored. Good luck! I hope he grows big! I like Gators coloration too. Is her caudal fin blue?
