Update on the green + copper

Just thought to post their pictures coming from the green & copper spawn. About 100+ of them there. Their growth is somewhat slower than other giants, perhaps slower 1 or 2 weeks, but other than that they seem to be bulky and very promising.

Body is thick, caudal points outward, but anal seems to be shorter than other long fins. Again, this is perhaps because we are analyzing them too early. Wait for another 1 or 2 weeks, we should see them starting to sprout.

Note that both their parents are long fin, though male carries short fin, hence there is that tendency of getting shorter fins. Majority should be long fin and this will be interesting to see what the outcome is going to be.

Some are starting to have red coloured caudal, giving indication that maybe we will get a number of them to be copper red. Some golden sheen is showing off as well, metallic is in the gene :)
