Wonderful pics.

That dorsal colour of the P. cheni is just stunning.

Great pics!
The cheni looks as if it's half-heartedly raising its dorsal to say
"Yeah, I know you're there now get that #$%# camera out of here!!"

When our Chenis are displaying and doing "I am the big Cheni" pose they look wonderful.

Even looking at our baby chenis in the baby tank they look sooo cute and they have wonderful body and fin colouring. It's interesting seeing what patterns they are and how the patterns change. They seem to be growing slower than Emmas baby Sewellia though.

The adults have such a range of colouring, body colour changes depending on whether they are sitting on a stone or the partition or the glass. And their Dorsal fins change too.

Hi Susan - get your LES.. to show us more of his pictures of the baby chenis! I can't be the only one who'd love to see more.

Yes Susan, cheni babies are quite slow growing once they reach about 3/8".

When Jim and I both bred Liniparhomaloptera disparis, we found that they grew far quicker.

Thank you for the vote of confidence Emma, I will see if i can dig out any OKish images from my dross folder tonight... I don't have many good images of the baby cheni, and those i do i have already posted. Alas my camera packed up over the weekend :-(

This is the last good one i managed:

Yes the leaf surfing starts young ;-)

We have moved most of the baby cheni into a seperate tank now, in theory it should be much easier to take pictures but a working camera would be required.

Lovely pic, LES.. Great to see that they are enjoying their leaf surfing at a young age!

Looking forward to more pics - good luck with sorting out the camera.

Emma

p.s. Thanks for giving him a nudge, Susan!
