The fiancee immediately started taking pics when I finished setting up the tank. We'll set up the flashes and take better photos when these guys start getting some size on them. Biggest one at the moment is the almost 3 inch dominant yellow lab. He runs the tank for the moment and continuously tries to mate with the other labs. The sub-dominant lab has taken on the role of breaking up the fights between two chailosi that set up shop on opposite sides of the same rock. I'm pretty sure all the labs are hybrids, and maybe the rusty too, but everything else should be pure. Enjoy!

Thanks!

Looks like the right edge of all the photos got cut off. I'll have to remember to edit them into squares next time.

Thank you!

The biggest lithobates are about 2.5 inches with the others just under that. Anyone know when they should start showing real color?

Only the one has a noticeable blaze. The rest look identical to the one I labeled "female?" I hope I don't end up with all males!
