My New Barbs

[Jen]

I just went and bought some Rosey Barbs today from Fish Buddy (a member here). I got 7 of the little guys. In fact, they aren't little at all... they are all adults, but you catch my drift.

I had 1 in my tank already, but he's a little smaller. He's 2 years old now, and about 3/4 of the size of the male I got from Fish Buddy.

Heres a few pictures of all of them getting along swimmingly (get it... swimingly!) The one I already had is hte bright orange one... he is a neon rosey barb.

(I know they are a little fuzzy, but as you all know, fish don't like sitting still for pictures)

planning on breding them yourself?

Actually, the bright guy that was already in the tank was born there. I had a bunch of babies one day. I didn't intentionally breed them, but they did the deed anyway. That was in my old tank - all plastic plants, very little hiding spaces. I found them cleaning one day. I was actually very surprised with the breed since my mitrates where off the chart... like 50ppm or more. Maybe these guys will breed. The tank is deffinately more suited to hiding fry. I don't have much room for them now, but maybe if I end up with a million fry that I can't house, I can convince my parents to let me set up my old 35 to grow them up and sell them! Score!
