nice fish bro. im looking for a few myself.i hear that the wild caught fish are waaaay more colorful though.

I think flash/substrate makes it look lighter. (IMO the rest of the fish are a little light too) I used less flash/had darker tank and the fish looked darker.

But either way cool fish. And NP pat..

Such beautiful fish, I really would like to keep some but they don't seem to be readily available in my area. One LFS does have a 7" pair for 200 bucks.

So I guess pat got a deal since I gave him that one..

Here's some pics of mine...

Do they pass as a real pair?

For what it's worth, my male is approx 9" and the female slightly smaller. They are both wild caught.
