That male looks huge and he's pretty. I love the females in breeding dress with the irridecent fins.

hatched the first or second week in June.

Jon your's should get beefy too. Minifoot got his about 2 months before you. In the fry tank there was a lot of competition for food. All the ones I pulled and kept are prety meaty and colorful.

I don't know if it's the food I use now or the water or something else but this batch of cutteri have out preformed all others I've had (from the same parents and including the parents) in growth and color.

 

[minifoot77]

you should feed yours like i feed my jewels

I may have a 1 eyed puffer now. The cutteri in his tank paired up and I found him last night with a really messed up eye. They are bold. He's big enough to take large chucks out of them.

These are F2 "rio jutiapa". The parents are F1's from fishfarm.

I'm looking forward to it. I also got a male from another source, and both are growing slowly.

Mine doesn't look like yours

OK, finally got some pics taken on my cutteri, but the photography is horrible. Bad camera, bad photographer, moving fish.... and I can't upload high resolution images :angry:

Mine doesn't seem to have 7 stripes. From head to tail, the second and fifth stripes are muted, almost invisible when he's wearing his pale colors. He seems to be missing one stripe. I bought him at SuperPets in Annandale, VA. (they still have some)

Any chance we can figure out what gender "he" is from these pics?

Thanks!

looks like a female how big is it...

 

[dSerk]

It's only about 3 inches. "She" is a little territorial, likes to chase the bigger tetras. Sometimes I think she flashes her fin at reflection in the glass, but she shies away from a mirror.

 

[minifoot77]

sounds female

 

[dSerk]

How so? (or was that sarcasm?) Would a male have a different reaction to the mirror?

 

[minifoot77]

i don't let my fish look in the mirror so i wouldn't know but the markings and the size tell me female
