As some of you know I had these guy's listed on AquaBid. Despite a fair amount of interest in them they didn't sell. I am guessing my picture taking skill's weren't good enough to show their potential. I deleted all four auction's today because quite honestly I don't want to sell them now, lol.:D

I'll take some more pic's soon and try to capture the red's, yellow's and pearl's they are getting. Definitely they are no where near reaching their full potential with color yet. Even the two plainer one's are starting to show promise.

All four are definite keeper's.

I'd love to see them spawn but I've no clue if the male's are even fertile. They have red eye's but so do killin's and male fertility in killin's is (I've been told) somewhere around 50% So this may mean nothing.

I still suck at venting but I've some guess's as to their sex. Number three in the above line up is getting some bada** color and even getting a little kok (not to mention attitude) so I'm guessing male. Number one in the above lineup seems to get along very well with the suspected male and is much smaller, shorter fin's etc making me suspect that it may be female.

New pic's and or video soon!
 
man they are cool looking. I am going to attempt to get my SBsto breed, I too am worried about their fertility. My sb female doesnot like any other fish, but she is in love with my 12" kamfa male so I dont know what to do. I am gonna try to send you pics and tell me what you think. I guess them breeding together is better than nothing. She hates the SB males. she attacks them right away. tries to kill them.
 
I have an sb FH and I'm fairly certain he is fertile. He and my female killin (not a fader) had a fertile spawn. Unfortunately I did not remove the male and the other fish and the eggs ended up getting eaten.
 
I did notice some liplocking between one of the fader's and an sb Green Texas. They seem to be almost identical in body shape to the GT, way more than compared to the killin. Their head/face/mouth look very fh though
 
Izzy, here goes. The first few are of my SB female and her mate (regular sized Kamfa 12") ugh wish she would have like another SB or even the bonsai males. But oh well, then I have aSB male paired up w/ a not-so-pretty Thai pearl female. Let me know what ya think? I would love to have one of your red and white ones, the first one is bad azz.
