    Default My Pride & Joy!! (Flowerhorn Family)

    I promised Chief Wonton and Pisces that I would post pics of these guys once they were settled and truly happy. Here they are with a few surprises!

    This is Rosey a year ago. When I purchased her she was in really rough shape.


    And this is Rosey now ;-)..... the colours in this photo have not been enhanced in any way...


    This is the fair of Golden Faders that I purchased from Pisces (THANKYOU!)


    I love them both dearly, but when Rosey showed me what she really had to offer. I decided that I like her colours and body shape better... She is also much larger. So, this is Rosey and her new husband.

    The male's ex wife is living happily in a planted tank getting some R and R after being tuckered out by the big fella.

    This is the male Thai Silk that I purchased from Chief Wonton (THANK YOU!!) for my female whom I raised from 2".


    This is my famale whom I purchased from Charles (THANKYOU!!) when she was about 2". She is now about 6" . She's roughed up a little from spawning.


    And here is the semi-happy couple.. he's a bit of a bully.

    You were right though. He is a bully. I've located a 2nd female to alternate them after spawns so the females can have a break from him. I'll be bringing her home next week. So excited to find another adult female Thai!!!

    I had no idea she had such potential. She was a sympathy purchase..lol It's been a long road with tons of Danichi, New Life Spectrum pellets, spirulina stuffed krill, mysis and bloodworms. To be honest.. she's my fav. She has more personality than all of my fish mixed together.
