They are in my 50g at the moment as I want them to grow a little before putting them in with my chunks. They are real babies with tiny mouths, and I want to make sure they get enough food :)

They are beautiful little things, thank you Lesley :)

They seem to have formed two loose pairs, but maybe it's just a case of 'bag buddies' :lol: Two are definitely more confident than the other two, but all have eaten tonight and been out exploring. They were quite nervy of the other fish, but considering their journey they have done well.

Just a few quick snaps from tonight. Will get some better ones when they are fully settled :good:

:good: They are looking quite good from the journey, little bit of rubbing on the ones nose and still a little pale, but to be expected I suppose. Just so pleased they arrived ok.
 
Yeah I noticed the rubbing when they were still in the bags. They will heal up in no time :good:

They have got a lot more confident just in this last hour. All begging at me for some more food :lol: One has claimed a corner at the front of the tank already :lol:

Yep, they are colouring up nicely, bless them :wub:
 
They are full of it this morning! Had some peas and sweetcorn, tucked into them!

Very pleased with them, thanks Star :good:
 
awww glad my little ones are eating their greens :lol: They should eat anything, their diet has been very varied and their confidence should grow over the next couple of days :good:
 
Looking good Chillipepper, makes me want to get the camera out now...

I'll get some pics up today too

Yep, and they had some Spirulina flakes yesterday as well. They will get a 50/50 meat and veg diet :good: They are very confident this morning. Swimming about, wagging, gobbing etc. The tank is right by our couch so they can see me and have already sussed that I mean food :lol:

Thanks, looking forward to seeing pics of your little ones as well :)

Good shots and nice looking juvies in there :D One thing though - I give the plants 2 months :lol:
 
So sweet, making me seriously want some Lesley :p

I shall be keeping tabs on this ChilliPepper :)

I'm not bothered about the plants to be honest :lol: I have T5 lights and for that level of light with real plants, I really need Co2 which I cannot afford, so the plants aren't thriving :lol: Quite a few fake plants in there which they all love going in and out of.

Eventually they will go in my bigger tank :good:

Very nice, they look very happy :)

Thank you :) They are even happier now I've just dropped loads of food in there hehe
 
Few more from today. The babies are really colouring up now, showing lovely blues and yellows in their fins. Their personalities are really coming out now. Two keep 'playing' with each other, and one of them is a bit of a s46 :rolleyes: Someone has taken a bite out of his tail, but to be fair I think he deserved it and it is healing :lol: :rolleyes:

Still not thought of any names. Guts, Greedy, Greedier and Fatty are contenders though :lol:
