various albino BN photos

Post by jimmyB »

Nothing terribly exciting, but I was goofing around with a digital camera and took these last night. One is the Terra cotta pot cave I made, with a chunk taken out for the door. You can see the male guarding the door. He is in there 90% of his time. There is a baby fish on the piece of flat rock to the left of the door. Image

This photo shows what I saw tonight, my batch of fry left the cave and invaded the tank. What a swarm, about 30+ fry!You see reflections of each fish, so it looks like there is twice as many, but still what a sight to see about 15 fish on one end of the tank. This end has a light near it, and a little algae on the glass for them to eat.

The third photo shows what is left of a 1" thick slice of zuchini I put in the tank, using a fork to sink it. They not only eat the center part, it looks like they devour the peel as well. I vacuummed this tank clean 24 hours before (in fact I do it almost every night) and look at the mess they create! You can see the bright pink reflections in their eyes, they hide well i the sand, but ther are about 12 fry in this photo.
