This is rather embarrassing but my favorite fish ATM are the little white tipped BN that I got from Mug. I kinda know why but I don't for sure know why.  All I know is that I spend more time in front of their tank watching them than I spend in front of my tanks with my fancy-dancy valuable Angels.

When I read posts like this it reminds me of what I call my "Love at first sight" fish. I've had a few over the years. I loved raising them and watching them.

I was gonna toss in some of those 'baby blue eyed' L144's but thought you might be up all night staring them too.......the little darln's are captivating for sure.... ;D

That's a fine looking fish, Jon.  I want to make a large white tips on mine.  Josie had some super fine ones at NADA.

Josie had these super fine brown BN that had huge white tips.  I don't care about albino's with the white tip.  I'd rather breed run of the mill brown ones with a HUGE white tip.  The contrast between the brown and white  is stunning.

Everyone to his own taste, right?

Sure..... ;D .....just thought that I'd toss it out there..... ;D     then you'll be in your element with the little darln's that you have now.....grow em string like bull.... ;D

Strong like a bull, for sure.  I cater to my fish :-[  You gave me 55 (I think) little white tipped browns to choose from.  I know how to select for what is in my mind's eye.  I will have fun with these fish.

move the bigger ones as you can, then watch for females first....the males will be easy most times...even young ones.....you know the drill...get the food hogs moved out to enable the rest a good chance for growth too....of course, watching BN's grow is like watching paint dry....LOL

Well, at least you have a fishroom.  When I need a new tank or more, I have to put it in the living areas.  Still trying to figure out how to fit all my fish into our new house.  Jon's plecos are great!
