I hope you're not all getting fed up with my photos! :? Here's some from this evening 08/07/2006:

They rest on the glass for a large percentage of the day now....

Image

You can see the meniscus of the water go up and over this one, who is resting slightly above the water line....
Image

Image

Underside.....
Image

Think this one's having a crap! Which is good as it shows they are feeding well. :wink:
Image

One of the better shots of a slightly darker specimen....
Image

I'd estimate that they approx 15mm now (total length). :D

We never get fed up on looking at loach pictures, Emma. Especially loach fry pictures and their developments. :D

Looking good! 8)

Oh these are definitely getting there.....you can see the shape developing gradually. It's interesting that the dorsals are raised.

Way, way cool!

Too many fin rays Mike. They're wannabe Sewellia.

Yes, I'm begining to think that too. Notice the hint of yellow on the pectoral and pelvic fins in some of the shots.

If these do prove to be Sewellia, I think the documentation is truly important, and once again, it unfolds here. I'm still not convinced. Sewellia seems like a stretch, but let's wait and see, huh?

Fantastic shots, Emma. They grow up so quickly!
