Papa Green Sailfin Lyretail

[CACAdmin]

Well I may have lost my female Green Sailfin Lyretail Molly but she did give me several batches of fry. I introduced some of the oldest into the 70G and their papa immediately has shown interest (even if these little females aren't old enough for bear young yet). I am expecting to receive a new mate for him shortly but in the interim he is displaying for the young ladies. I couldn't resist taking a picture of him tonight.

They are such beauties - fancy yet still wild-looking. His lyre is so wide & well-shaped - his blue-blood breeding shows. :yes:

:laugh: Thanks. Because he's green, it's difficult to get a good picture of his Lyre due to his coloring and all the plants in the tank but yes it is very wide spread.:yes: (Now if he would cooperate by swimming in front of a white rock....:nah: they never cooperate when you want them to.

Isn't it always the way that the stunning looking fish are the hardest to get a great picture of? He does look beautiful, can't wait to see the pics of his new mate when she arrives.

WOW , he's a very sharp looking fella!!! Ditto to what Barb said, you'll have to post some pics for us of the female upon arrival:yes:

Thanks. I will post pics of her... maybe she'll be a little more cooperative for the photoshoot.:laugh: . I guess I should see if I can train them to move into position on cue. :nah: Somehow, I don't think that's gonna work, so it'll be the usual 100 shots before I get a decent pic.:rolleyes:
