I forgot to update this thread on their weekly birthday like I usually do... my bad
). To make up for it, I included a short video -- scroll to the bottom for the llink!
They turned 8 weeks old on Thursday, and today two of them had their very first flares
. I also snapped a pic of an adorable little bubblenest one of them made... the third bubblenest from this batch of fry, and the very first one for the boy that made it.
The light-coloured fry previously pictured... I think it's going to be male after all. I saw it nipping a few siblings today, so it'll be jarred as soon as Walmart gets in another shipment of the containers I'm using
Light fry next to really dark one -- they're finally getting in their dark body pigmentation
Misc. pics from the tank
The two jarred fry who flared today... first Mr. Reddy, who just got moved inside from the storage room (no, it's not his name... just what I've been calling him
) He has bubblenested twice before.
His flaring partner
"See my bubblenest mom?? I made it all by myself!
"
"You want a piece of me, brother??? I'll open a cap of whoopass on ya!! Put up your dukes!"
Last but not least, a video!! Not that great, since my digicam isn't exactly designed to take the best vids, but at least you get to see the
incredibly, mind-numbingly cute wiggle one of the fry would do... He had his posturing down perfectly! He'd puff up and twitch one of his tiny ventrals like they do, then he'd do his little wiggleworm act
