More Juvenile Scarlet Shiner Photos

On this slow university holiday I took the opportunity to further photograph very young scarlet shiners. As before, both of these shots are at 20X magnification on a digital dissecting 'scope. The 20-day-old fish is 5.9 mm long TL, and the 27-day-old fish is 6.25 mm long. The latter is also visibly better developed, with the hints of growth in various fins and deeper coloration in the chromataphore spots.
