My First F2!

[Joby]

The male is my marble HM Warren

female is marble HM Mable

Fry hatched on christmas eve which makes it easier to remember when trying to work out how old they are which is 4 and a half weeks.
They eat granules already and also love frozen bloodworm and artemia finely chopped.

Copper colour seems to be showing through from their Grandad which is what I was hoping for

One that looks exactly like the male did

and some lighter ones which hopefully may give me the yellow I also would like to see from their grandad's sister

and of course there's always a rogue he appears to have some red/pink coming in

Yup!
But it's so much fun when they're your baby's babies!

 

[Joby]

Amen to that Wuv! Hope its a long time before I'm a proper granny


Well he came up trumps again yesterday. They spawned for 2 hours and it appears he's got around 50 eggs, but its a small thick nest so who knows what the final count will be

Jarred the first 2 males yesterday. Can't believe they are 7 weeks old already

Sorry about the blurred pic he's so fast it was difficult to get any at all

This guy changes colour everytime he changes direction his metallic kept catching the light and blinding me!

Have a celophane HM male also still in the tank with the others along with another white male but so far they are behaving theirselves
