My new ruby red

[freshmike]

Here is Ruebin, my new ruby red peacock male....I bought him to breed with Bernies' offspring. He is a way better specimen than Bernie though.....we will have to see how he turns out after he has grown a bit!

WOW i just noticed you can see reflection of the camera. It looks like a pretty good camera to me.

Thanks for the wishes of luck! The camera is just a kodak cx-4300 from costco....inexpensive but seems to work pretty well (IMO) not that I am a critic, seeing as it is the only digital I have ever owned!

Aww Ruebin is a handsome guy!

 

[freshmike]

I can't wait until he is all grown up!!!! I think he is gonna be beautiful!

 

[Wildfire]

Wow what a beautiful fish! In your opinion how big do the Chiclids get?

 

[freshmike]

Mbuna reach 5-6" Haps (peacocks and such) 7-8-9" and many others such as my frontosa can get way way bigger!.........this guy probably will be about 7" My other ruby red is about 5.5 right now, and still growing!

Will get better with age!
