Melon Barbs

Aren't these melon barb babies adorable?

They are cute. They look kinda like a clown loach or tiger barb in away.

Very nice, they are at a nice size.

1/2" for the smallest, 1" at the biggest. They will get over 2 inches full grown.

I enjoyed watching my young red eyed tetra explore the tank or tag along with the larger fish.

Dropping some more photos. There's 6 altogether of these cuties. Too little to sex though. They will develop bolder markings as they grow too. Parents were beautiful, big dark fish.

Thanks for posting the pictures, still hoping my tetra will have some show up one of these days.

Colouring up a bit more

So I noticed... they have a cory lookalike in the same tank lol

Blurry, but both side by side

The baby coloring will change though, they will get a lot darker and may develop a cross bar between the first two stripes.

The cherry barbs like them too which is great
