Pic taken. I haven't been able to upload a pic since the recent crash on MFK. I always get an error message that the upload failed. If you want to see the pic, please send an email to anubiasdesign@yahoo.com and I'll email it to you.

Email sent about the pics :)
 
I just uploaded a video of these guys eating live adult brine shrimp to Youtube. You can see it here:

I recorded that on my regular camera and am not too pleased with the quality. I've never tried to use this camera for video before. I should probably have used my video camera, and will do that next time.

I got these in as tems and based on the collection location that id seemed likely so I kept it on there. In all honesty, I am not that familiar with the coloration of juvenile pbass to know for sure. One of the reasons I wanted to post pics of these as soon as possible was to get a confirmation of the id. There are lots of folks here who are more knowledgeable on these than I am so I'm certainly willing to accept an id that most seem to agree on.

agreed. those are likely mono's or occells depending on the collection point. Tems have a solid lateral line at that size. still waiting for you to come through town for some fish :D

No worries on my order either way John. Asl ong as they are healthy is all that I care. Mono's would actually be better size wise for me anyway.

Sorry Mark, not sure why I typed John as your name. I have been thinking about ordering a tig from SNOOKN so I guess his name was on my mind:).

Let me know when the fish are ready to ship.

Thanks,
J.D.
