No wonder the female in the pic looks all bruised up. Sorry for the loss. Did he handle her with care when he stripped her? You should always be gentle when stripping and be careful to not hurt them. Redshoulders are great fish by the way and you should still be happy you got them. I just lost all my male redshoulders to old age and now I have no more males but some F0 females. Lemon Jakes does not come close to looking like yours at all. Does he know how to ID his peacocks?
