Hey guys..

 

since the last lot of photos were taken with just a horrible yellow 1 bulb shed light on the roof... i scored a 4 foot light the other week when i got some more tanks so i connected that to the roof on the other half of shed so i can alternate both light sources and take pics using either or of the lights... the 4 foot light is not yellow like the roof globe... heres some pics with just the newer light... must take into consideration though that there tank is a good metre or 2 from where that light is ...

 

hope ya like some of the pics...

Some nice shots there TCM!!

They are cool fish, starting to color up nicely!

they are alot more coloured to the eye then the pics are showing... the photos i keep picking up some fantastic colour dont seem to have focused properly lol :/

what do you think of the first few pics with those black stripes accross them ?

The diagonal banding tends to show up when they are stressed through something you or they have done, or when they sleep . They keep the banding while sleeping and  it persists for a little while after they wake up

 

Did they just wake up or are you chasing them around the tank a lot?

 

Mine keep spawning but then the pair bond breaks, with the male chasing the female around.  IDK if it's because he is hostile or trying to help brood the fry but she won't let him. It's a puzzle.

Yeah everytime I turn the lights back on they all have the banding lol<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
