I don't have g. balzanis, but I have a pr of g. meridionalis and a pr of g. "blue neon", and I think they are great fish, very colorful . . . they have tried to breed, but no luck with the eggs . . .

one things I've regularly read is that it is beneficial - - some say necessary - - to give these fish a "cool" period of maybe 2-3 months when you keep them at temps in the 60s . . . haven't done it yet, but I plan to give them their own separate tank, at which time I will try it . . .

Good luck catching another male this year! How big is your female now?
Thanks Peter, We're not going to the north this year, but Felipe is going to have me a small group to bring back. My female is only 3" but she's doing quite well.
