We've been growing these out for a bit now...they're in a 55gal to pair off...also, in there are (2) F2 Manacapuru....a mixed pair will yield all Silver lace...a sibling spawn from there will get us fortified DD's with the wild blood...plus preserve the a good body shape and thickness. This will be Jan's project....we're just waiting on the 'love machines' to hook up.. ;D

They make my heart go pit a pat.  The fish are lovely.  Jan has a long row to hoe.  Keep us informed of how the project progresses.  I want to see this work in progress as it unfolds.
Always move forward. Never look back.

WOW!!!!!!   Those are beautiful!
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)

Do these have a good red eye?  It's hard to tell from the pic.

You tease.  I don't drool often but when I drool, I DROOL.   Pics and updates often, please.

I`m glad that I made you drool Liz, We have to get these to pair up first. I saved these from getting sold because of their veils, which I love.    I keep telling Jon that they look like they`re all females, I was wanting to breed the blacks together . He said put in some wilds and if they mate, we will have black lace, then breed those together and get double blacks with a wild gene to make them stronger.

To me, the second pic looks like a fish full of eggs with a breeding tube coming down.  The fish in the first pics looks female to me, but I am often wrong.

Bingo !!!....May have to toss a proven male in there to see....I think that there's at least one male, perhaps two.....we'll see.....the ladies want to dance, but who goes going to ask her?????

The pic in the first pic could be.  I can't tell the first thing from the second pics.  I need a good pic from the side even to be able to guess.

Those are real sweet Jon & Jan.  Are they any kin to the black veils I got from you?
