I moved alot of fish around this weekend. I thinned out the 300 grow out tank. Took ouot some of

the Hogaboomarum and put them in the pond...also some of the Freddies. I moved the Robertsoni (4

of them) into a seperate 75 gallon tank to breed, I moved all of the Parachromis that I had into a

180 gallon tank. One of the fish was a full 6". The rest 3-4". Here's the big

guy.

I moved the big guy on top back into the

300 gallon tank...after he ate two of his siblings...not what I wanted to see. (Bill...your fish

are fine. LOL)

Here are some of the others.

All of the above pictures and the ones

below were shot using a polarizing filter. With the Parachromis the color temperature in the

photos was drastically improved. Previously I was gettiing a lot of digital aberations...and I

could just never hit the colors as they look in the tank. This made a vast difference in the

finished product.

The Breidohri are still in the 300 gallon tank. I moved their breeding site to the front

of the glass so I can document some of the breeding behaviour. Also by thinning the herd in that

tank they should have better success at breeding. Here's the female half of one of the pairs

in the tank.

And I can't wait till these guys get larger. I have three of the

Motagusense from the Rio Blanco. I am told these fish are SUPER red. Can't wait to see the

colors. Not much now at three inches.

polarizing

filter....... I never thought to try mine on the tanks. I got to try that this weekend....
Thanks for the idea.

Oh and great pics as usual.
