Title: My fish and their love nest.
Post by: Gaynor on August 21, 2013, 06:35:37 PM

Sorry it took me so long to upload pics of the new fish and the galleon, we had a lot going on due to my daughter and her hospital visits, but all sorted at the moment so here we go.   :)

Chuck between the two pieces of the galleon.

A picture of all three fish, Chuck the albino convict, fanta the jewel cichlid, and Zeb the convict.

Zeb, sadly Chuck is a bully and seemed to take a real dislike to poor Zeb, so we've now moved him to my brothers tank.   :'(

Chuck with her new lover Fanta (or as I like to call him, Fantango).

Fanta the morning he and Chuck laid and fertilized their first set of eggs.  Notice how red he looks, I'm guessing the vibrant colours come out more when the Jewels are breeding or excited, as this little chap has only been so bright when he first met Chuck and just before they bred.

Thanks Daniel, they have such great little personalities too.  I've been watching Chuck throw gravel out of the back end of the galleon most of the day so I'm guessing eggs will be in there again tomorrow, she might be a bit of a bully but she's hilarious too.   :)

No problem Colin, I love looking at pics of everyone else's fish and I love taking pics of mine to show everyone.   :)

Wicked galleon, Gaynor! I was picturing something much smaller :o
Chuck sounds a real character...I'd never get anything done if she was mine :)
