Yup, down south in T Town LOL

Colin?

Haha, then I totally forgot your user name

User name was a recent change. I decided it might be a better idea to have an anonymous handle

Well, these are no Hogs but they allow me to keep other small fish with them. They have spawned twice for me but no fry.

Stopped into Pet Works, Olympia today to sell some BNP and and scored these 2 juvenile rainbow cichlids. I wasn't to sure on the id so I had to Google pics of juvenile fish. Even with only being added a few hours ago they are showing some nice color.

Rainbow eggs are a failure. Turning white and majority are gone.

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear that.

They will try again.

They will try again.

You got some new blood in there too, if I remember correctly? Maybe a change of partners might do the trick?

Yes, there are 2 new juveniles. I'm hoping that this will help.

Saw a large rainbow at the house I got my jewels from.... if you’re looking for an additional adult one, I think he’s willing to make a deal on it

Here is a pic of it... I think it was a rainbow but then again with the light sand substrate, it was very light in color

That is a good looking Rainbow. I have the group I want though with 5. I need to stop looking at online suppliers because I'm trying to do the aquarium gymnastics on where can I fit that fish.

I added a background to the 60g and now the rainbows glass surf for food.

Why do my juveniles not have red eyes?
