David R Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'm not going to resize and rehost the pics so I can post them here, so you'll just have to click on the link. They're really starting to colour up now, I'm looking forward to seeing them in full breeding colours once larger as the females can rival just about any other fish (fresh or salt) for intense colour, check out these pics Largest one is about 3" now.

ryanjury Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Not my thing But those photos of the fully coloured up female are awesome, they almost look unnaturally red they are so bright! Looks like you had a good score from a good exporter with those ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Looks like you had a good score from a good exporter with those ones Yep, big thanks to Hollywood and the importer for sourcing rare fish from a quality supplier! Long term I'm planning on keeping a pair in a 180x75x60 tank (yes just two fish in that big tank!) so I can [hopefully] see their natural behaviour as a pair with out them killing each other or the need for a divider!

firenzenz Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Nice fish alright. Is that female colouring permanent or breeding mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 The intense red is the breeding colours, but they are still an atractive fish when not in full colour. Male unsure of sex, possibley female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
