Finally found a 3 bar lol, this little guy is awesome. He stands up for himself against a male jewel cichlid and chases him off, and likes to chill w/ my needle noses (maybe since they're both from se Asia?). So far he has eaten frozen krill and bloodworms, not sure if he got any at I always soak little chunks of pellet it them so he may already be eating pellet.

Only thing was a little eye cloud I noticed in the bucket, no big deal and its already been clearing up w/ under 20 ppms nitrate, pothos, melafix and a bit of salt. Other side shot

He's in my 30 to gain some size, I know he won't be eaten in my 70 but I want to pellet train him and beef him up a bit so he isn't so stressed by the bigger guys. Plus my other 4 bar classic has about an inch on him so I want them to be evenly matched in case of bullying. Now I just need an 8 bar and a fork bar lol

Nice stable little guy. It's a shame those dots/shadows will probably develop into half bars.

Yea it seems to be hit or miss when it comes to the spots. The good thing is that the spots are symmetrical so if he does grow half a bar then it would be a pretty neat looking 3.5/3.5 bar.

My Lil guy. He's a stud and stands his ground against the Oscar twice his size. uploadfromtaptalk1389799882925.jpg

Yep,sounds like one of my little ones...He is the smallest in the tank and he kind of pushes or nudges other fish away from him if they happen to move in too close for his comfort.
