Amphilophus lyonsi video update

[mikem691]

I'm a little late with an up date for anyone that was following his progress.
Just fed him and he's looking for more. starting to see some pink in the fins.
I picked him up on nov 7th at about 2" and about 3.5" now. It took almost 2 months to get him to take pellets eagerly. Now he wolfs them down like their his favorite. I'm posting vids because he wont stay still for nothing and I need a good camera.

Vertical banding is strong with this one. Predatory distracting eye on the tail had me confused too... i thought your fish was swimming backwards

Thanks man! He's starting to get some vertical growth now too. Its hard to see in the video but the blues on the sides are starting to show along with the orangeish / pink on the fins.

He's been a little shy the last couple weeks. Not sure why. May have to add some dithers.

Don't really have enough space for a big enough tank for a pair. Was thinking maybe 2 male and 4 female sword tails. I'm guessing they would eventually become a late night snack.
