Well the guy who I got these from was liquidating his fish room. Picked up 12 for 60$ was an awesome deal, super nice guy as well. I picked up a few other things but these are what gotme excited, been after these guys for months! They are extinct in the wild and hard to find at a good price. They are already starting to show off to each other in their new 75g home. Enjoy! I'll post more pics as they get more settled.

In the bags, had to release one bag early due to a leak.

They have way too much energy, wouldn't stop moving.

No love for rare fish? :'(
 
Yup these are victorian, extinct in the would and hard to come by, and I'll try and get some single fish shots. They are hard to get lol, they move all the time.
 
Here you go mike, the tank is blue and cloudy because I clouted the tank just in case.

There color is what you see pretty much. Just more vivid when not stressed. Here's a pic I found on google. (i do own copy rights, using these pics clearly for comparison)
