Baby Boy!

[greyko]

ElectricMayhem dropped around this morning with a lovely present!
A cute little baby boy, looking all curious and perky.

I'm acclimatising him to his tank. Got it all ready for him, I hope he likes it.
I forget what tail type.
But he's coming into his colours, and looks like he'll be a pretty blue marble.

I'll bring home the digital from work and try to take some photos after the weekend.

Yay for baby fishies!

His parents are HM *nods* But our tackers are still little ~3.5 months

peeps are not allowed to say they have new fishie and then not immediately post a picture!!! rectify the fault please!

 

[ElectricMayhem]

LOL! Well how about I post a pic of my bub who is brother to greyko's new boy? Will that do until he can get hold of a camera?

This is my boy:

I can't get a pic of him flaring! He's being awkward Greyko's bub is a marble with blue and purpley bits. So cute! I got 2 sibling sisters too

for the first time in forever, my boss took the digital! not my fault.
friend currently staying over has one, might have to ask her if i can use it.

his brother will have to do for now.

i think there's some green in his purple and blues too!
Still looks like he's coming into colours though.

 

[liz2]

love it when they wont co-operate for a piccie! still need to see other one but will be patient!

 

[greyko]

OK!
Got some photos, not the best, but I think I manage to catch his colours.
He'd sit still, right until I hit the shutter, then ZOOM!
Auto focus kept focusing on the glass too, will try more when I can bring home the other digital.

And I think his name is Eddie!
Eddie the Yauntja!

he just looks like a young veil to me but then again, i never had baby HMs

 

[ElectricMayhem]

I think it just looks that way because his tail is relaxed. We need to get him flaring! His colours are gorgeous!

 

[ElectricMayhem]

This is one of the boys' sisters. Her name is Liza, but she has a bit of SBD going on at the moment. Hopefully the pea will help She can and does straighten her back out, so I'm not worried about it being her spine, she just swims a bit wonky... and vertical... poor girl!

lovely colours on that fishy..... he dont want his photo taken though..both same age and the tails look the same no wonder shopsget boys/girls mixed up

 

[greyko]

Aye, the colours are amazing, he's so shimmery.
His tail is looking bigger again, hopefully I can find some way to make him flare. If I move a pen, or finger, or anything, outside his tank, he follows it, but doesn't flare. Even a mirror, he just tries to get through, no flaring.

I might try to get some photos of him eating though. He's so cute, falling through the water, right next to the bloodworm, then BANG! He nabs it.

Jeez. They're all gorgeousss.

What a pretty little guy . Love his sibling, too.

I got a bit of a better pic of the young lad!

also got a bit of a flaring pic, so different from his usual, relaxed self.

poor lad has a smidge of finrot, probably stressed from the transport, giving him water changes, adding some salt, and bumped his temperature a little. will be keeping a close eye on him!
