Pictures of the BBSVR (now CBSVR) that Ranchmaniax Paul generously offered to pick out and send as a prize in this thread:

I had to put off delivery for a week so when they came, they were already starting to turn into "color babies". In the pictures they had been here about 3 weeks and are almost 3 months old.

The 4 that are left have doubled in size in the last 3 weeks with daily water changes and 4-5 feedings a day of bloodworms alternated with Hikari pellets. This is my first group of little ones to raise and I can definitely say that I've had my eyes opened with regard to how much work goes into them !

I think these are really pretty nice fish. The lumpy peduncle should beef up and will be fine, I notice one may have a short gill plate. What is the water depth?:youtellme:

..def more than it should ideally be - it's about 12-13"...was hoping the extra couple of inches would help with water quality but I'm still changing 90-100% daily...
They are in a 30g tank w/ sponge filter and this past week, a small power filter...may need to re-locate 2 into a rubbermaid, the big one is over 3" as of last night, they have grown like weeds..!

I had not even noticed a possible short gill plate...would that be #4 ?

I thought there were five of them?:youtellme: Or am I mistaken? They are looking great! :exact:
