cost me a fortune to get them over here. The fish them selfs not hugely costly. Still not cheap.

I've had a trio. 2 males, one female.

The largest at a huge 20" the other male 18" (roughly) the female around 15". ( that's all I could get)

These fish are seriously impressive and settling in nicely.

Check these out.

Check the niger for size he's around 36/37". That the smallest male sitting above him.

Shropshire, U.K. Mate.

They didn't ship well and turned up practically dead. Had to blast them with oxygen for over a hour. They had somehow pulled through to my surprise. A lot of damaged fins from ammonia and general shipping injurys. I'll not count my chickens to fast, see how they go over the next 48 hours. Although, there responding fast. Colouring up and swimming around. Still not a fan of me lol.
 
Oh,well...here's hoping they pull through.
 
Lovely zullies love the coloring

Starting to colour up. They have this unmistakable brown colouring to the main body. Never seen it in a azul before. The big male and female, were caught as a pair. (so I'm told) they seem to be pretty obsessed with each other. So it shall be intreasting to see what happens.
