More tank pics, updated

A couple of pics, no major news.

Kong is usually bright orange. Since laying her last batch of eggs she went piebald. Now she looks like a midas...check this out. My female parrots do some interesting color shifts after laying eggs. Must be hormone related.

Current pic of Pepper, my rainbow. I was lucky with this shot, he was moving fast but I caught him without too much blur.

Looking at me with one eye, lol. I have no idea why cichlids do this so much. He was so close to the glass the focus started blurring. When he's curious about something he'll press right up against the pane.

Small notes.

Surprisingly things have settled down in Goon City. For how long I couldn't say, but there seems to be less wild activity for now. Yesterday afternoon I found Brick's ball on the floor! He must have whacked it pretty good. First time for everything.

The QT growouts are doing great, better than I could have hoped. Corn (gold severum) looks like he's roiding out. The acaras Rocky and Jazz have more than doubled in size. Pip (HRP) stays in his log most of the time but when he came out I was shocked at his growth as well. Will take some pics next week. Sort of like a two month growth comparison.

Speaking of growth, Patch is showing increased bulk with her reduction of egg laying. I always suspected so much of her energy went to all of those eggs, since her natural size was somewhat slimmer than Kong though she's more 'square in the rear.' She's going through the motions again but nothing so far.
 
What would you say the growth rate on the acaras is? I just picked up one and can’t wait till he gets some size to him.
