Update pictures

Spent couple of hours yesterday (might as well, before the shift started) and here are some pics of the fish, updated. Only managed to drag out about 10-15 of the containers before totally giving up on taking pictures, just too many of them

This is one of the female that we forgot to include previously, she's a giant female. rays seemed to be having CT trait though most of the discovered lot had this (and none of their parents had this, so it could be just environment or something else). This female is 4 branching, also pay attention to her scales. Carry rosetail? but the tail is not ruggerised at all....or could it be because they were starved for so long that the body "shrink" and the scales fused together with that kind of pattern? Eitherway, it will be interesting to see the outcome of her fry.

Multi boy. This one is fiesty. If no one wants him, we may want to keep him and see if he grows bigger. He is giant geno, but the size looks like 50% giant, maybe because he's just too young and still growing.
fiesty


Sample of a reject. This copper gold has nice spread caudal though it is bending on the top. Our fault really, his tank was small and shallow, hindering his tail spread whenever he flares...if no one wants him, happy for us to keep him, just for the sake of seeing how large his tail can grow.
reject

Again, sample of reject boy. He's an SD, fins growing already (didn't notice that he was torn to pieces previously, did you?)
copper gold SD

Again, a reject SD. copper black red. very active and nice, just not spreading as we want him to be (and again, he was torn to pieces previously, still can notice his healed caudal)
reject

Nice SD. reject. caudal bent on top. again perhaps due to container. we only had 2 bent caudal on the whole spawn, so that's good indication that it may very well be environment.
reject

Previously never pictured boy. just scooped from growout tank. anal is a bit trimmed but healing well, caudal is fairly large for hmpk, but also spread nicely. JG may like this boy?

Agressive dalmatian boy. 2 of his pictures, just for fun. currently reserved to JG.

Green bf, reject, anyone out there like him? He has bent dorsal, but otherwise nice SD.

Female giant hm geno. reserved. caudal branching is disappointing, but anal is very nice. so, hopefully keeping her for awhile we'll see how she grows...

The rest of the clan?? Just not having any luxurious time to take their pictures and our photography skills still not improving :(
