The "Eye-Spotted" one... Truly one of the MOST beautiful, and highly sought after species out there in the hobby/market... (in the same category w/ aurantimaculata, and the 'TRUE' barca!)... just wondering if there were anyone here fortunate enough to keep/own this incredible animal?? :hearts: Care to make any comments?... Are they truly as blue as they appera to be in some pics?? :uhoh:

i got one, had two but one of them died but mine is about 3" so the neonblue color will come when he grows, and he will grow fast cuz he eats like crazy ^^
 


gonna take some better pics of him later on, the one with 3 spots is the one that passed away :( *RIP*
well im gonna try to get a hold of some more cuz they are sooooo cool then you got whem in a group :)
 
it jumped out of the pond( i got a small pond that is about 4'x4' and 8" deep in my rainforest vivarium) now the last one is in a tank and will not jump out :)
 
I also have one of those babies, still at 3" or so. Just bought it :D

I could post a picture but i don't know how :confused: you can check my gallery, i put one there.

Can't wait to see it grow, there were more at the fish store, i'm thinking to buy another to keep him company...
