A lot of the fish that were dark bodied to start with are lightening in the body and retaining interesting fin coloration of black, blue, green and some red variations. I plan to cross the marbles with my full-finned turquoise and reds to work on filling them out. The DT red at the far right is the pure red baby shown on previous pages. He is still as pristine and lovely as he was then and his fins are growing out pure red and beautiful. He comes from the second red cross of the ST male and DT female.
Individuals range from all red to butterfly to cambodian and cambodian butterfly.
Quasimoto is a red-loss fish from original old red Gilbert Limhengco stock and the yellow female was bred by Jim Williams. Last night I changed the filtration system in the 20 gal growout tanks from only sponge filters to a Penguin bio filter and left an un-aereated sponge filter to keep the bio culture until the Pelican filter gets seasoned. Hopefully I will be able to keep these over-populated tanks in better condition for the fish. The old way, the water was turning very red from the flake food doo-doo.
