Nobody seems to keep a colony of fish that they've had since fry.

I'm attempting to grow some fry into an adult colony. I do agree with you, its an invaluable experience watching them mature.

Some people are just in it for the extra pocket money.

[SunnyHouTX]

Yeah, seems like it.

Thanks J. I don't see why more people don't grow out fry to adult since the experience gained when one does that is invaluable. Nobody seems to keep a colony of fish that they've had since fry.

I've had mine for over 2 years. Got mixed batches from different sources all at 1". Some of my males are now 10+ inchers

[SunnyHouTX]

Yeah man. That's the way to go. So when can I get a few females from your blood line?

BTW, I was making a comment on the local scene

Yeah me included. I think it's because of the impatience of wanting them to breed. I'm done with all of that though.

[SunnyHouTX]

Yeah, but getting fish you've had since fry to breed in the end is the icing on the cake, with a cherry on top

Here ya go fellas. Hard to get decent pics with actinic bulbs w/o a flash, so this is the best I could do. I included one with flash as it shows the fish as they really look to the eye.
