Very promising looking stock!

The tank's scape has the "minimalist" look to it. )

Ha ha, yes! Two reasons: 1) I'm more or less treating it as a grow-out tank, so I didn't want to clutter it up initially, and 2) I haven't decided how I want it to ultimately look. I took out a bunch of holey rock, and I'm not sure I want to go back to that. We'll see!

I believe it's a mixed peacock, as I was unsure of the origin of the female. One of those cases where I let nature take its course, and I think he was the only survivor. I think he's going to really start coloring up based on what I see now, but I have NO idea what he'll end up looking like.

Based on my past experience, it may take at least half a year. They likely won't show any color until around the 4-5" mark.

They look great! Can't wait to see them as they grow. Any idea how long before they start to show their color?

Which fish is in the center of the first pic?

Yep, I should. My phone doesn't work over here. Have a work phone, but I don't get text messages on that, unfortunately.

Sent pics and a message to your phone. Maybe you'll receive them when you return.
