Australoheros oblongum protecting fry

Awww...thank you so much for sharing those new photos, Pearl. That's just precious. :) I hope the parents do a great job of raising the fry and hopefully in a few weeks, you will have some great looking juveniles.

P.S. Are those lupines in your avatar? I've been a long time fan of lupines since I read "Miss Rumphius" by Barbara Cooney as a child. The imagery and illustrations in the book still remain vivid in my mind. I've tried to grow lupines for many years and it's been an absolute fail. :)
 
Thanks, Stargazer. You're so kind. And yes, those are lupines. Finding the right spot for lupines can be difficult, but once you do they'll grow like weeds.
