Nine Times The Love ;) (very Picture Heavy Update)

[dnalex 13,633]

I've been trying to get some acceptable pics for my crew, and they finally cooperated. This is the group in the 100g. I'll update the 55g in a couple of days. Without further ado, here they are, in alphabetical order XD

Byakuya

After a very very rough beginning, Byakuya has recovered well from her dropsy after shipping. I hope she will stay healthy for years to come.

Gin

Gin came from Petsmart, and was discovered to have a very mushy belly when I took her out of the bag. She too has fought the infection, and here she is

Hanataro

Hanataro is the surprise baby from DO. He's such a spunky little guy. He definitely livens up the tank

Ichigo

Ichigo's my first from Petsmart. Also another bundle of energy, she's demonstrated a nice growth.

Jyushiro

My calico oranda baby!!!

Kisuke

Blue oranda from Petsmart. He has the best facial expressions.

Nelliel

She's the panda I've always wanted to complete my tank. Nelliel does not disappoint. The shipping from DO this time was as smooth as can be. Nelliel & Hanataro didn't even stress.

Renji

I had to bring him home when I saw him.

Toshiro

Queen of the tank! :wub:

Group Shots

We Be Butterflies

I <3 U

Thank you so much for looking. I realize there were a lot of pics

(Notice Toshiro in every single group shot. She's well loved lol)

Thank you very much!

@pumpkinPatch - I just have a point and click, and all these are in auto-mode without flash. My new acquisition this year will be a DSLR, I think

[Captain Findus Goldfish 272]

Alphabetical order!!!

I am in love with Byakuya! Gorgeous colors!

Wonderful pics Alex!

[AMeyers 6]

They are all just gorgeous. Nellie is fantastic.

[number20121 2,663]

How gorgeous they all are, and yet another example of how easily "simple" Petsmart fish can compete with the beauty of DO fish.

For me too it is hard to pick a favorite, but the one that comes to my mind first is Gin (although you also know that my overall favorite of yours is little Adolf

[rai-nbow 363]

Wowww, I never would have guessed a lot of your fish came from Petsmart!!!! O.O I always look at your siggy and think "so many pretty fishiesss" so YAY for pictures!!! I can't pick a favorite either.

[Helen 8,511]

congratulations alex, they're all looking fantastic

[ShawneeRiver 2,720]

Squee! So pretty!

[dnalex 13,633]

Alphabetical order!!!

I am in love with Byakuya! Gorgeous colors!

Wonderful pics Alex!

Thank you

I decided on alphabetical because I couldn't decide the order. I really cannot pick a favorite anymore.

They are all just gorgeous. Nellie is fantastic.

Many thanks. I also think Nellie is just fantastic

Thank you Fang & Rai. I purposefully listed the Petsmart fishies to underscore that point. Certainly they can compete with the auction fish for looks! (Next up, the other tank with the $10 and under fishies )

Fang, thank you re:Adolf. As you'll see, she's lost her little trademark mustachio

congratulations alex, they're all looking fantastic

Squee! So pretty!

Thank you Helen & SR. Your kind comments are much appreciated

[vwashbur 59]

I love the broad spectrum of colors in your tank. Your fish are all so vivid and beautiful Congrats

[shellbell4ever 1,381]

Oh my gosh your fish are all gorgeous To hard to pick a fav and like most I was surprised to see most of them came from pet smart thanks for sharing all your beauties with us looking forward to meeting the 55gal crew by the way how do you decide who goes in what tank??

Thank you, shell

In the 100g, I have 4 fish from DO (Byakuya, Toshiro, Hanataro & Nelliel), 3 from Petsmart (Gin, Kisuke, and Ichigo), and 2 from my favorite LFS 3 hours away (Renji & Jyushiro). If I absolutely have to pick a fav, I'll choose Hanataro, since he's the smallest

The 55g holds all my smaller fish, except for Ulquiorra. For some reason, he dislikes the company of these larger fish, and will go hide if he's with them. :/

[mjbubbles 211]

They are beautiful, Alex.

Thanks for sharing.

I love the We B Butterflies picture. How did you bribe them to all spread their tails like that?

I love Gin's coloring too.
