Good news!

Ok so the tilapia rolled in worm mush seems to be doing the trick, she took another one tonight, this time from the hemostats as well as a piece of worm. I put a bit more in her bowl to see if she decides if she wants anymore.

awesome! glad to hear she's eating fish for ya! i bet she'd eat a pink too if you rolled it around in worm mush.

Quick question about redsided coloring from the others who have them.

How red can these guys get?

Marley seems to almost have a blush of red along her lower sides and I'm not sure if its cause she's young or ts her adult coloring coming in.

From what I've seen and heard the Kansas strain seems to be one of the most red.
I don't have any but I'm sure some other members might. Maybe even post a photo or two, please.

Okay, it was nice out this evening so I did a little photoshoot what I'm talking about, but her eyes are going blue so she's not at her best.

Still not camera shy, she kept trying to climb onto it and gets a bit wild for a moment as soon as she's on the ground but she does settle down until the dogs bark.



But this is one of the best I believe discribes what I'm talking about,



See how the red is creeping into the yellow stripe on her sides right past her head almost making it look orange, and farther down her body the stripe is still yellow but there's red spoting along it.

And we did have someone try and crash the shoot, she always comes running when I have Marley out,


That is Demon Spawn (aka Salem) that brought Marley home that day. Still won't leave her alone. Don't worry, someone else was holding her at the moment so she was very much out of harms way.

Awesome T.s.p. Very unique.
I have a radix(Peachy) with something like that.
She's beautiful.

Thanks, I know I googled everything I could think of to see if I could find anything close, but really hadn't much luck finding anything close to how Marley looks.

its something that I'm going to be watching now and see if she either looses it or gains more as she gets older. Right now she's being really fussy, probably because of the shedding soon. Which I'll get more pictures of her to see how her colors are then.

[InsanePirateDragon]

And we have shed! She went and did it when I was at work so I missed it once more, she always seems to do it when I'm away.


Gah, I wish it was daylight at the moment so that I can capture them better.
Lighting is so horrible inside, better pictures will have to wait at least until daylight and washing out a lot of the red fade.
