My Amphilophus Sagittae journal

Another of his new tricks. He will sit in his pit just at eye level so he can see me. As soon as I move he bolts to the front glass to see what I am doing.....

Haha that’s hilarious. That fish is straight boss. Stunner

So this is Casper in his Net of Shame!
Since he can't be nice and not attack me while doing tank maintenance, he has to sit in time out..... lol

And today's rock setup, let's see where he digs this time.

Took him out quick like for a measurement

Nearing 9in, September 9th will be the one year mark of him living in my tanks.

Of course he wouldn't work with me to get an in tank size pic, so I did a quick pull him out, take pic, back in he went.

He definitely is one of the best fish I have ever had. So full of personality, tame but viscous at the same time. When in time out just sits there pouting, yet when out will follow your fingers along the glass, playing "catch me if you can" racing end to end of the tank all along biting the hell out of your fingers thru the glass.

His last batch of fry did make it to the Wet Spot, apparently half went home that night with one of the workers. To me seems they should be up for sale by now unless they are waiting out them peeling so they are a lot better looking than fry colors.

Wet spot has his babies? I must acquire them

Looking back in the thread, I took them in early April, at the time the fry were around 1/2 inch in size. They said they were going to grow them out some at their offsite warehouse. Seems to me by now should be big enough unless like I mentioned waiting out the peel. A month ago when I got the fish for my Convict paradise from them they said they still had them growing out offsite. They have not showed up on the website or I would have mentioned it here for sure as I know a couple MFK members have mentioned wanting to get some.
