Not actually to do with my tanks, but while we we’re dropping off some easter eggs for our niece, godson (yep someone was daft enough to make me a godfather ), and my OHs cousin’s kids, I got a short video of my OH’s Uncle’s pond, he’s moved it about a bit since I last seen it and he will likely move and adjust it again.
Either way some of the fish are 11-13years old and the white one weighs 12lb (5.5kg~)

So after catching covid and isolating (nothing serious fortunately), and getting given a load of crap at work on my return (I wont start we’ll be here all day!) this lot did perk me up a bit last night.
They all seem to be growing well, they can be a bit aggro with one another but thats cichlids and siblings for you but they do seem to get on really well otherwise, no real issues
The only thing im worried about is water changes which ill catch up on this weekend hopefully, because my OH wouldnt let me do any while I was ill.
You get to see all 8 fry in the video, which is a nice change

Glad you are feeling better Iain (I didn't know you caught covid).
Nice video.
How many apisto fry have you got ? Are they all cacatuoides ?

Thanks Stephen
I didn’t mention it on here until now, mainly because I was just hoping it was going to be mild and didnt want to jinx myself. Fortunately I did only have mild symptoms (temperature, feeling sick, and then like a cold sniffing and coughing for 4/5days).
Anyway there are 8 fry (batch 4 I want to say) that are in the video, who all look female, in the 45l in the living room is Villanelle (another female, batch 1(?)) who had a sibling that died very young, possibly because there was only 2 of them?
And then finally Nine who is the only male in my 100l, he’s batch 2/3/4, we have no idea because he was in with Mallory (his mum) for god knows how long and we only seen him because she was chasing him
So 10 fry in total across 3 tanks because they’re different batches, but they’re all cacatuoides and all Mickey and Mallory’s kids, so gold bodied (Mickey) and standard (Mallory) bodied colours, and i think Mallory is an orange/orange flash fin colour
I’ll stop rambling now

Just realised I hadn’t put up my TOTM entry pic and the couple of pics I caught of Villanelle
She has some colour/pattern in her tail like her mum

Yep
She’s the oldest of the fry (batch 1) and the only one from that group.
Current all the fish I have except Mallory and Sarah, I’ve raised from fry
