My new babies!!! YaY!!!

[sammigold]

Well today I took the trek to Crockys place...(actually it was a really nice leisurely 2 and a half hour drive) and got myself some bubs....

they are about 9weeks old approx.... and we are hoping that they will grow up to look like their mums... One a Brown and one a solid blue snakeskin... and a little little surprise packet who we think will end up a blue snakeskin as well.....

any way here are some pics.... I also got some bolivian rams off Brad and have some photos of them too....

Please note that I took these photos about 10mins after popping in tank so they will probably look nicer once they have relaxed...

First pic of my babies... they are about the size of 20-50cnt piece and the smallest is about the size of a 10cnt piece.. just to give you an idea of size.

Brad, Thank you for him/her. He is my special project. I want to see how big I can get him... I have decided that I will keep them in the quarantine tank for a while so that I can do regular w/changes and feedings and stuff and grow them out a bit before I put them in with the biggies.... I figured as much as I want to put them in the big tank I also want to give them the best chance in life.... I can do more reg. stuff in the smaller tank.. without disturbing the larger tank too much.... its bare bottom too so I can feed more without worrying about it... (lot easier to clean) So quarantine tank will really be a grow out tank....

Hopefully in a couple of months time you will be very proud of me!! :D

Ps. The rams are really nice! Thanx again
