Searching for the perfect Trimac

That one has a “teardrop” on the one side I got the picture of. Other side nothing, so I jokingly am calling it “Left-eye”.
Wasn’t planning to move one solo so quickly but had to move the biggest one out. I think it got under the Mopani log and got stuck or something. Its face was pretty scratched up. I moved him into the 65B intended for the rtm. This one has trimac attitude, long trailers, good shape and a real light green coloration. Not the best looking of the batch but pretty nice. Hope it being solo will let it heal up quickly.
Thats the problem! Too many to choose from!
Ive already seen awesome traits in multiple fish, so tough decisions for sure. I am really trying to figure out dividers and stuff still. Ideal would be to divide each 90 into thirds and let each fish heal up. Then start to decide on keepers after a few months.
That’s the route I would go! You don’t want to cut one too soon that may blossom later on
I have seen some pretty bland trimacs too. Im seeing a light bit of red in a few of them. I know there will be a few lookers in the batch.
Today I started with some pellet training. They were not very receptive since they have had so much “treat” foods lately but I felt they got some meat on their bones now. They are kind if at that awkward size where some small pellets are a bit big and the other stuff is geared more towards small community fish. I tried some Dainichi Color FX small sinking and it seemed a little too big for them.
Well over the past couple days I am seeing an interesting bit of behavior. I would guess that there may be a female in the mix. In the tank with the 5 fish, there are two that are just a bit too “friendly”. The one is the dominant male with the two teardrops and an elongated flower on one side. The other one I believe to be female is the one with just a single teardrop that I call “left eye”. It has been showing off a very barred pattern and swimming with the male. No real aggression between these two toward each other but almost a united front in keeping the other fish pushed to upper areas of tank.
Yes, I see black in the dorsal fin
To me it’s a combo.... I like a large spot on the side, tear drop spot under both eyes, deep reddish/ pink in the throat, and a yellowish to light greenish body.... hold up, I’ll take a pic of one from the same collection point as mine, that I find horribly ugly
