Well it's been about a month (38 days to be exact) since I posted about a single fry that survived. I was pretty sure it was a hybrid then, and since the little guy (or girl) has doubled in size, I'm almost positive he's a l.caeruleus x m.callainos, he's a cute little thing so I took a couple of pics. :wub: Sorry they're kind of blurry, but I've yet to upgrade my crappy 4.0 camera, so you'll just have to live with it. :p I also took some pics of the other fish while I was at it. So here goes:

The fry

Female p.crabro, she hides as soon as she sees me with the camera, what a pain.

P.acei, they don't hide, but they won't hold still for pictures, so I only have one. :grr:

m.callainos, definately the most photogenic of the bunch, the first pic is a little overexposed, but I caught him mid-yawn, and it shows off how big their mouths are.

l.caeruleus, the first two pics are of a holding female, she should spit any day, she's my most prolific female and is the mother of the hybrid, so I'll be interested to see if any survive to see if the m.callainos seduced her again. :hey: The third pic is of the male, who just can't seem to get lucky. :lol:

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!
 
Excellent pics of beautiful fish,
The unlucky male looks a bit miserable :lol:
 
Nice Mbunas :D You're lucky.... I counted the pics just to make sure there were 12... had to be sure you weren't holding out on us :p

:lol: :lol: You know I'll never lie to you. Fortunately for everyone I haven't bought a better camera yet or there would be hundreds of threads from me a day. :fun:
