Parosphromenus tweediei juveniles

[Stefaan]

There were finally 7 juveniles and since a couple of months, they are residing in a seperate 35 liter tank. The majority is definitly male, but there is one single fish whom I suspect (read: hope )to be female.

The pictures underneath show how their colours are developping. The biggest ones are about 8-9 months old. To allow futur comparison, I plan to post some other pictures when they are adult.

thanks for documenting with those fine photos. Its great to see off spring of these fish. I will be taking some photos of mine when they grow up. At the moment they are really small.

Yes, wonderful photos… thank you for posting them.

Thanks for the compliments.

You should have seen me, laying during one hour on the floor to take approx. 100 snapshots from the lowest tank on my shelf. If somebody would have photographed me, I’d finally have an avatar :silly:

These juveniles still look rather different than their parents. It makes me wonder if the different stages of the genetical evolution of a species is reflected by the way their fry evolves towards maturity.

Hallo Maurice, inderdaad 🙂 I’m living about 225km from Delft. Feel free to contact me whenever you might plan to arrive to Belgium.
I’m spending some days off and clean my tanks. Afterwards, I’ll post new pictures of these young paros.
