I actually like the pearls from the one I have from our batch better lol because they aren't the fusing kind so I know he wont be completely plated in pearls, but even if you get a bunch of fish from the same batch their features will vary due to the fact they hybrids so a lot of features can be very different depending on the traits of the parents.

Our bath definitely has a different shape than your newer ones...... your new ones have the facial shape of an acara or a JD..... interesting, but love the color on the fading one
When I got the fading one it was 2.5in and cost me $150 but now the same seller recently quoted me $225 for same size same quality :/ so I doubt I'll be getting anymore, haha too expensive for me now.

Tankie got a new roommate yesterday. A "algae eater" (rescue) I don't even know what this fish is - he's got big lips that adhere to the sides of tank on occasion -- he's not an SAE and he's not a pleco of any kind. I don't know what he is. Anyway, Tankie was scared of him/her and pouted all day long inside his flower pots. It's taken him a whole day to get unafraid and start his normal behavior of redecorating with the rocks.

Also - he hasn't eat a single endler's livebearer. They swim right by his head.

Hahaha he is probably so well fed he doesnt even recognize them as food! If you want to make him a little more confident/aggressive try showing him a mirror once in a while.

He's fine with Morrie now (that fish's name). Tank and Morrie sounds like a tv show I'd watch.

It didn't take him long to "acclimate" to his new pal.

I will show him a mirror sometime to see what happens though. lol

I haven't uploaded a Tankie photo for a bit. He's still growing of course. The pot he's next to is a 6" terra cotta flower pot - for reference.

@Tank - that cowboy hat photo we talked about? I'm going to make it happen, dude! I'll text it to you when it's done!

Becoming nicer and nicer...

Hows the golden buddha food @VickiK ?

You know, the food I got --- that you told me to get -- Grand Sumo Red -- I'm still feeding it to him. He eats it. What he PREFERS are those stupid little tiny red Tetra Color Tropical Granules. I give those to the bottom feeders around here and he gobbles them up like candy -- as I'm giving those to his roomate, Mortie. He does eventually eat all of the Grand Sumo, but it takes him awhile. The snails help themselves to their fair share also.
