Okay so I've been off here for a while and I just wanted to put a little update out there for people to see. Okay so here we go!

^ The best looking jack dempsey I've ever seen! Okay so this is the same jack that had the amazing colors when I bought him at 1"
Currently: 5-6"
PS (couldn't get a steady shot because of all the movement he does)

Best Picture I could get on my huge pleco. He went from 2" to about a foot in about 4 months.
Currently 10-11"
PS (that reef looking cave thing is 6" from back to front for scale.

That's the biggest of about 50 surviving fry and he or she is growing like a weed! All the other fry are about .25" while this one is about. .6"! I have no idea how this one grew faster but it did. Some of the fry are showing spots like my dempseys so mama may have cheated on papa. I'm not sure but I saw my one dempsey in mamas cave before I noticed any fry.

One of the other dempseys. The other one sticks with my pretty male and can't get pics because she's scared of my phone lol. It is black and she's scared of it. I believe this is a male.
Currently: 3.5-4"
If you can sex any of my fish feel welcome too. As of now all i know is the convicts and the male dempsey. Sex them by typing the number and the gender. Any questions about the fish feel welcome to ask. Thanks!

They are all over this tank and some are really dark colors, some and really bright colors, some just have normal colors like the largest one, and some have small black spots instead of stripes. When will they be able to be sexed and bred?

Could be combination of lighting and camera but looks like those tanks could use a well deserved water change.

The lighting makes the fry tank look very bright and the lighting makes the 55 look dirty but will do. I'll change the water today but here's a better lighting picture

It keeps uploading it in a different resolution. But it is in time for a water change last one was 5 days ago and feeding time is a mess. But it's not as bad as it looks

Food always manages to go where its not wanted lol. Not as bad as the pics made it look. Its like 4am bro, no bed time lol jk.

I always throw in food before I go to bed so the other fish get some. But I tried to update the text and it just removed it all lol so I put new ones
