I would think so, I kept 15 of the 30 I got from you, but not all of them made it in the big tank. Some found their way into the overflow and into the sump. There is alot of competition in that tank. They are in a 215 with about 80 others so it may be a while before they really show good color.
Some haven't made it over an inch. I think I have a few runts too...:)
I want some of those christmas' when they get a little bigger and you decide to get rid of them...

That is so cool! I have not seen my fish spawn yet, just usually find them with some fry. Those fish are beautiful by the way. Michelle, I was hoping to come out sometime this week or the weekend to pick up some fish. I don't know my schedule yet, but just let me know a good day for you. I am hoping I can snag Blake's baby BN's if they are ready soon. I am so tired of looking at my empty 55.

I have some Astatotilapia latifasciata (zebra obliquidens). They are only 2-2.5". They have not spawned as of yet. The male was added later than the 3 females and the girls scare him!
A lot like my marriage........:salut:

Be like Skipp and talk about measuring squirts in the hand and you will be a catfish or something in no time.

I hope they keep the LARGE sharp objects away from him!
I would never measure, just calculate by eyeing it like the rest of us! :D

My daughter and her fiancee are on the way down here as I type this. Hwy 87 out of Raton to Clayton was completely closed. When they got to Amarillo via Springer, they heard(and saw the results) of a 60-70 car pile-up on 287. I thought she was exaggerating until her dad heard it on the news afterwards. Scared the heck out of me, thinking they could have been in that mess! I am not going to rest until they make it in!
