Hey Guys,

It has been a very busy summer for me with work and I haven't spent much time photographing my fish. I had a shipment of F1 calvus earlier this week so I thought I'd take a few photos. I probably had close to 200 fry in this group and now, with Monday's shipment, I am under 50 :eek: I guess it is time to start saving some new born fry again.

In any event, I pulled a group of the larger fry (at 2", I should probably call them juvies instead of fry) and put them in a 10 gallon tank for photography purposes. I got my photos and shipped most of the group on Monday. Here are some "no flash" pictures of them...

Please click on the images to see them "full size"

F1 Altolamproloogus calvus (Black Congo White Pearl)




In addition to having the largest white pearls of any calvus, the BCWP's have a yellow trait that appears on many of their foreheads.
It is hard to say; but, I'd guess that well over 60% of them have yellow foreheads.






I hope you enjoyed the photos :)

Russ

:worthy: Those fish look amazing!!

I don't like you right now. I wanted a lake Tanganyka tank but decided it would be to hard to maintain another tank. You are making me kick myself for not doing it. Those fish look so beautiful.

Too bad I can't talk you into another tank: I see you live in Chicagoland???? Hmmm???? That gives me an idea :) I could meet you near the IL/IN border (no shipping charges) ;)

oh so very tempting. My wife is expecting in a couple months so I know I won't have time once our first baby arrives. Maybe once the kids are all out of diapers and stuff. So for now all I can do is watch your updates and drool.
