So the cobalt blues are adults and the smaller yellowish ones are the hybrid fry, right? Which fish did the fry come from? You probably explained all this in an earlier thread, but I guess I missed it. :eek:

Those are the cobalt blues that you expected to be Afra cobues, right? Well, I'm no expert on any of these fish, but judging from your video I'd be pretty happy with the cobalts. They are such a vibrant blue! I love the way they hide and peek out from under the rocks too and then dart around the tank together.

well i wouldn't call the cobalts adults, they are still very small (1-1 1/2 inches). yes i do know where the fry came from i just dont know the ids of the parents, but i do have pictures. i will post the parents of the parents later if i still have the pics on the computer. ya i felt pretty stupid when i did though that they where the afas. but i am happy with the cobalts.

Guess you could say 'juveniles,' I suppose, eh?
What are they supposed to max out at...5-6 inches?

I like em' lots too.
There's so many African fish you guys post pics of that I'd like to keep down the road when I've got space, and these will likely be one of them. ;)
