You've got my attention.  I have a tank that would fit the veils.   ;D ;D ;D  My fancy angel tank needs some more show offs in it....Plz put me on a smokey paraiba veil list if/when they spawn.
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

I have 6 survivors from a recent spawn that I am trying to grow out.  I mentioned previously the problem I had with the spawn having many belly sliders.

The good new is the pair is still spawning regularly.  The bad new is I don't have room for them. 

I got the Smokeys and a couple of regular Paraiba left from that spawn but sadly I did get any Chocolate Paraibas out of the survivors.

You may need some RO to get your TDS's down lower....??

No TDS was 104.  I think too current was an issue.  The plat fry that I had in that tank came through fine.

Also these Paraiba fry I attempted to have fostered by my Plat pair.  They may have been eaten in the process since there were far fewer than the amount I transferred into that tank.

Those are some beautiful smokey paraibas... I remember seeing them when I was at your place. I didn't bother asking if you'd sell them because I didn't think you would, I know I wouldn't haha
