PineSong Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I'm in love with my new koi swordtail fry who were born in my 29g. Unlike my platies and guppies, the swords were born with their black spots already showing and now they are 9 days old and their orange is filling in, too. Compared to 6-12 weeks for my platies to show their final coloring, and even longer for some of my guppies, I like the 'instant' gratification of seeing these colors so soon. I am really going to enjoy watching them mature. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Lovely! Thanks for sharing. It has been a long time since I kept Swords. There used to be a really nice line of sky-blue. Wish I could find a breeder… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly pale green compared to the pale blue you were showing off. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 @nabokovfan87 Greg Sage is one of the great wizards. He's a sort of hobby-hero to me. We both studied music professionally, so that connection is cool too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
