You have an excellent breeding pair. I didn't realize that their normal coloration was so different than their normal coloration.

Yeah the change can be quite dramatic.
Its nice because you dont feel like you are string at the same fish all the time.

Bill, are you breeding yours?

I bought a pair but the bond broke as soon as I released them in my tank and they never bred again. they were quite dull when not breeding so I gave em away

Gruff, I think you mean from their breeding coloration?

Mine bred often and pair bond was amazing. I sold quite a few throughout the country.

I lost the female from unknown reasons and now only have the beautiful 6"+ male. He was bummed for months after she died. Now he is alpha in my SA community tank.

I have a breeders email if anyone wants it.
