Man your gp's look great. Mine just getting black bar. Yours aren't much age wise than mine. I wonder if antibiotics in begining could have stunted growth or delayed it.

Thanks bud.
The meds may have slowed yours down a bit.

Yesterday was 4 months since they got here, their growth has been quite impressive.
In a few weeks they will be 7 months old.
Lol, they were so tiny...

7 months old soon, that's amazing! How big would you say they are now? Are they all the same size or do you see one pulling away from the others as far as growth goes? I can't wait to see the girls grow up in the angel heaven you have going on. Haven't heard much about the peps in a few months.

Cortez Tropical Marine’s Craig Lightner was found guilty and sentenced to 4 years for endangering a diver that ended up dying last year off the coast of California’s Catalina Islands while illegally trying to catch blue-banded gobies (Lythrypnus dalli). Sadly this is not the first run in with the law and time spent behind bars for this individual as he was convicted of smuggling people, illegal immigrants from Mexico, as well as Clarion angelfish into the country. His other less-than-savory business practices have also caught the ire of the local community and the law.

Lightner was sentenced this week after pleading guilty in July to involuntary manslaughter in the death of 47-year-old Mark Rascon, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office. The two men were using air hoses and what was considered unsafe regulators. On top of this, Lightner did not teach Rascon how to use the equipment and put him in harms way. Rascon’s equipment was entangled in kelp, but instead of helping to free the other man, Lightner instead called the U.S. Coast Guard to report a missing diver.

Unfortunately, people like this bring a black eye to the industry and Lightner has proven he is a scourge to the hobby, he is a danger to society. We are sad someone had lost their life and hope Lightner stays away from this hobby and industry when he is released.

lol, month 1 was a breeze as I didn't know they exisited..
Months 2-3 were painfully slow, as I was waiting to get them...
Months 4-7 were full of every possible emotion known and perhaps a few new ones...
I can't begin to imagine the stress mommy Karen felt at having a literal house-full of baby genicanthus personatus, ...

They are around 2 inches, maybe over, and all 3 are roughly the same size..
When I got them they were about the size of a small yellow-tail damsel...
They are now the size of a decent domino, lol, that make sense?

With regards to the peps.
Rufus mentioned he is planning now and hopes to go soon but it may be early 2015...

Hope all is well with yours...toss up some pics of your new additions!

Ted, I wish you would get some interesting fish for a change, rather than all these ho-hum, run-of-the mill fishes.
