I got a visit from the Flowerhorn fairy today. Not that I'd ever call the dude that gave them to me the flowerhorn fairy. Well at least not sober anyhow. Wink

Anyway, I'm gonna preface this with that I appreciate dude's generosity, but holy crap. Not sure what I'm going to do with the lot of 'em. I'm glad I got those 37g tanks yesterday I tell you what.

I asked him for 6 inch or so fry to grow out. Instead of 6 he brings me 11, since according to him every time he's given some to anyone they've always had a few die. They're 11 I hate the made up names, *cough* ahem, Blue Dragon zz x Blue Pearl zz.

On top of that, since he is of the opinion that the one I've ended up with here is a male, he brought a slightly larger sized proven female so I can breed my own. I've got her in QT with a few parrots and she's already giving them hell.

I am definitely at my mutant capacity right now.

What? No comments about mutant hybrids? Who are you and where's the real Wyite! Wink

Anyway, while they won't ever beat out the turtles, and while I do like most of the fish out there, it did take the freaks of the cichlid world to turn me around on them. Doesn't hurt that they're the only fish I've seen yet that isn't poop it's pants scared when the one year old comes a knocking either. Wink

D'oh. I missed this before now.

The wee ones are doing fine mostly. I did end up losing one but looking at the body it appeared slightly deformed. There's another one that also looks like it has a bit of a deformity, but the rest are growing nicely, and fairly quickly too. I got them all at about an inch, and there's a few that are near two now.

In the next few days they're going to be moved from the 40 they're in into a 75g pond liner. I was going to do it tonight but I can't find anything but a 50w heater.
