This is not their first spawn together, but it is certainly the largest! I will follow this spawn from now until selling size.

I don't just think it's the TDO that helps with their color, we feed Mariner Plus HUFA flake from Brine shrimp direct as well. Here is a small group shot of them tonight. 53dph (there are some older and younger ones in there too)
