Altolamproloogus calvus (BCWP)

Postby Razzo » Wed Sep 21, 2011 12:25 pm

Hey Guys,

It has been a very busy summer for me with work and I haven't spent much time photographing my fish. I had a shipment of F1 calvus earlier this week so I thought I'd take a few photos. I probably had close to 200 fry in this group and now, with Monday's shipment, I am under 50 :o I guess it is time to start saving some new born fry again.

In any event, I pulled a group of the larger fry (at 2", I should probably call them juvies instead of fry) and put them in a 10 gallon tank for photography purposes. I got my photos and shipped most of the group on Monday. Here are some "no flash" pictures of them...

Please click on the images to see them "full size"

In addition to having the largest white pearls of any calvus, the BCWP's have a yellow trait that appears on many of their foreheads.
It is hard to say; but, I'd guess that well over 60% of them have yellow foreheads.

I hope you enjoyed the photos :)
