Blueram Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Got a pair also Kyle, it cost me a bit more than 10 though! The male is quite good looking, but the female is quite dark in comparison, without the striking colour! They are shivering at each other like cichlids do before they get ready to spawn! Hoping for the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
