African ones, that is. :D Been wanting to pick up a few for a while and I went to the store yesterday with a friend and just had to pick up one....or six...:nilly: Right now they are exploring the 20 long till they get a bit bigger, all are 1" and under, so tiny!!

Anyone know what the blue-grey one is? He's not very photogenic either..

It's so cool when they explore on the rocks like this:

The mystery fish, he's got white on the tips of his two fins:

The blue looks like a powder blue a.k.a. socolofi
 
wait till he gets older, at the moment, he looks like a juvenile cobalt (they get more blue as they grow) or one of the "Red Top" metriaclima species...
 
I guess the blue one will be a surprise till he gets older :D He sometimes displays darker vertical bars, but I haven't been able to get a decent pic - I'm terrible at fish photography. :nilly:

Congrats!! I agree with Fish Man Dan that is probably a blue cobalt zebra.
