What a difference a month makes!

I took some pictures this weekend. They have grown so much. For comparison, I've put these pictures together. The top one taken exactly one month previous to the bottom one. I don't know if it's the same fish, but it's the same pebble! Just look how much they've grown!

He's smooochie adorable no matter if it's the same or two different ones!

They grow amazingly fast at that age. unfortunately they slow down considerably from about this age. But they are both beautifull and well shaped fish

Gorgeous

hmmm that alsmost spell George! So that's where you got the name for your fish from Rob! Took some time, but I figgered it out

Well, I think that calls for a few more pics then!

These were all taken this weekend... I had just fed frozen BBS which lured them all out into camera range

It also explains all the "bits" everywhere!

Hey Mindy,

Your baby zebs are doing very well.

Like McEve says though their growth rate seems to slow down quite a bit from about that age.

The little guy in the first picture appears to have a rather unusual tail pattern and one of his stripes is "broken". Even at this age it's amazing to see how much variation in pattern some of them show.

Keep up the great job. Looks like you're a natural

Hamish... my camera is a Kodak Easyshare 7430. It's a reasonable camera but to be honest, if it's fish photography you want to do, I wouldn't recommend this one. There are much better ones on the market. This one is limited because it only auto-focusses (no manual override) which means that you can't always get it to focus on what you want it to.

Great pics. They look so cute, glad to hear someone is getting them to grow up.
