Thought these weren't too shabby as far as closeups go on such small fish...
Be sure to check out the little dude 'yawning' in the last pic! *laughingc

Thanks, everyone. ;)

Matt...that's a good question. I never even thought about that.
I'll have to take a closer look again and see if any of them look different. They're still really small though, but in a couple weeks I should be able to tell.

Jessey...naw, I'm not regretting giving up the adult cons.
My plan is to turn this tank into more of a platy breeding tank once the con fry are out of there. But you're right, the little buggers are really cute, so if I do decide to get back into cons in the meantime, I've got a tank full of them! :D

You make me mad :mad: I can't get pics of my larger cons to save my life, then you go get pics like these of fry!! grrrrrr :mad:
LMFAO...in your face! haha! :p
But in all seriousness, you've gotta remember that my cons were born in this tank and raised by me the whole time---which means they're much more 'camera-friendly' than if they were to have been moved here from someone else's tank or an LFS, etc. Just keep practicing with that Canon of yours and you'll get the hang of it! *thumbsups

Very nice shots.
I wish I could keep my glass clean enough to get shots like that.
I know what you mean, because the walls on the tank were filthy because I had been neglecting cleaning the algae off of them for weeks on end. Finally thought to do it yesterday, and then it dawned on me that I should probably snap some shots of the fry while they're still small and I can actually see them, lol. Thanks, Dino.

Welcome to the forum, by the way. Say, is that your chihuahua in your avatar? Does he/she have a syringe in its mouth?!? That's gonna give me nightmares, lol...:eek:
