This is a very aggressive fish and IMO has killer finnage and good color.  If I'm seeing wrong please let me know.  The fish will be two months old on the 24th. 
Always move forward. Never look back.

Too Many Fish. Not Enough Tanks.

Very nice Liz, I could live with a display tank full of those.   ;)

At what point do the eyes turn red?  Both parents and all their sibs have perfect red eyes.

If the other fry have already changed to red eyes, then he's been left out...unless he changes in the next month, or so..??...

None of the other have red eyes yet.  With all their close relatives red eyed, surely they will change at some point.

larger than quarter.  not quite half dollars.  Free swimming Nov. 24, 2913.  Not all are that size, but several are.

I suppose I need to net him out and put him on a damp towel with a tape measure and take a pic.  Perhaps I have hopeful eyes.

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 and already moistened the towel in tank water and was about to net out the fish when Boozer showed up to fix the roof and put back the ceiling in my fish room that he'd built for me.  I've been waiting months for this.  When I looked at the fish in question after he'd left I saw the truth.  The fish is larger than a quarter by a fair bit, but not close to half dollar.  Sorry.  I didn't mean to tell an untruth.
