Lol yeah that's one of the two bullies. I'll have to get a closer look at them to be able to tell if that's the girl that hides in the plant or the one that guards the driftwood!

Red, yes those are my "DunnXDragon lady" daughters....All of the girls that spawn produced are Fishlore members now lol..Pam has the other sister.....

Here are some photos I took of the boy and 2 of the girls right before they left....I know they are bad children and don't sit still for one second! I got them good and full and then got the camera (trick #1)

Keep the pictures coming Alex...I love seeing my babies!
Thank you!

Haha, now they won't be able to escape the camera, finally!

My boy is still pouting a bit, but he's definitely out and about a lot more. He can't see me where i'm sitting right now though so that may be a part of it

The girls have been behaving mostly, but like I said I want to get some more decorations for the littlest so she has a place to rest and hide. She's still striped up so hopefully that will help.

Two of the more dominant girls trade off between the spot behind the driftwood, if one leaves, I can just see the other thinking "HA! it's mine now!" lol. I might need to get another small piece or something, we'll see. The other girl has laid claim to her plant and defends it to no end!

The little ones are doing pretty well, one had a small abrasion from where she got nipped by her sister during shipping, but that's going away pretty rapidly and showing no signs of infection, so I'm happy about that . The little one's fins seem to be growing back pretty nicely, and although she's still striped she has definitely colored up (again hoping that more plant/decoration cover will remedy that).

All of my babies seem to be doing very well! They ate a pretty big meal of bloodworms last night (poor things hadn't eaten since sunday morning because of the shipping/acclimation), and two of the girls (the fastest and biggest) still have pretty rounded bellies, so I'll probably fast them today and see if that goes away by tonight. If not, it's peas or daphnia for them tomorrow!

Oh, I had to put a piece of paper between my 10 and my 5 that are on the same desk, ares was getting a little excited seeing the new boy in the next tank over and I didn't want him to stress himself out .

Sounds like they are adjusting well....I knew that little nip would heal up quickly....The ripped fins usually are mended in a few days also when they are young and healthy....

The little girl may be striped because she is still young..They don't really get their color until they are over 4 months old..She'll be fine in time...She never took any bull from those big bullies when she was here lol

Lol yeah she's definitely a fast little one. Normally unless they sneak up on her from behind she's all the way across the tank before they even knew what happened!

That makes sense, especially since she's definitely colored up since she's been here. I'll keep a watch on her. She's so funny though, if she gets food that's a little to big for her, she'll take the whole thing and speed of to the back of the tank and try and tear bits and pieces off of it! Eventually I think her sister stole it from her, so I found a smaller one for her to eat, but it was so cute!

First water change with them in will be either tonight after 7 (when my last class ends on thursdays) or tomorrow, so we'll see how they do with that .
