Final update: I kept 5 males and 5 females and sold the remaining 85 fish to a local fish store. Here are the latest pictures. The males are showing beautiful colours.
Thank you very much for this series of photos, – I will use them as I said, – just havent got around to it yet. But they are very good, – and very beatiful fish indeed.
One year later (almost exactly) and a new generation is born. One of the pairs I kept just had their first batch of fry. I believe there is a seasonal pattern to their breeding.
I am overwhelmed, which organization can boast such good photos and photographers, which encourages me but always my efforts yet to strengthen so that as many prospective foster and propagate these wonderful fish.
Greeting Bernd 🙂
