You wouldn't happen to have any more? I'll trade you some jewels for one of those

It has been a year now since the eggs hatched. Here is a few pics of the yearlings that I kept.

Unfortunately, after two batches the FH mother killed the Cyano father. But I recently was shocked when she and my larger Texas hybrid formed a pair instead of trying to kill each other like before. I have eggs again people... Check out the video I just shot. They are both glass banging and in breeding colors. And this happened within one hour of me leaving the kitchen area.

I found this photo... a little blurry but shows the depth of color of my cross pretty well.

Absolutely gorgeous. This is really nice when someone follows up on a thread like you did. I'd dearly love to have a cross like those for the beauty and responsiveness. Great job.

Appreciate it!

and here he is today

I go fishing quite often and this guy gets my leftover salty shrimp. It does wonder for the pinks and blues. As far as I know, he is the only one that looks like this.

It's been pretty long time since I updated the thread. Here he is all grown up... around 9 inches now.
