Devario assamensis

[BallAquatics]

Remember those Devario assamensis fry that BillT sent me back on October 28.....



Well they are 2 months old and growing like weeds.



They are around 1.5 inches long and starting to show color.  As they mature the stripes should turn red in color.



I had a group of these several years back, but lost them to summer heat in the fish room.  They come from a mountainous region in India and require cooler water temperatures.

Thanks Bill

Those guys grow fast! Do they have a short life span?  They're pretty fish.

Beautiful! I can't wait to see them in their full adult colors. How big do they top out at?

[b125killer]

There grown up. they are pretty fish.

[BallAquatics]

They will grow to be 3¹/₂ - 4 inches long.  I'm not sure just how long they live, but I would guess 5+ years.

They are looking good Dennis!

My adults are at least two years old.
It looks like they are now about 4" long but it real difficult to get a rule near they. They are very flighty.
They like to hang out together in a tight school, 8 fish within about a 6" ball.

Thanks Bill.

Thanks Pauline & Jon.  I hope I don't bore you folks to death with my photos, but I've decided the only way I'm going to get better is to keep practicing.

I like seeing pictures of people's fish and tanks. Never tire of it.

[raven_wilde]

Yep... I never get sick of looking at pictures of tanks and fish either

Does make me want to get a better camera though.
