AWESOME!!, yeah ive got a male one of these myself and can attest to their beauty these pics do no justice to show the vibrant deep blues they actually are how large is your pair? my male is the dominant male in the tank and was just at the 6in mark when i measured him about 2 weeks ago

Any pics? Id love to see a larger vont.

here are a couple pics of him, took this after i had some kids over so sorry for the smudgy glass, and i have poor photography skills so he looks much more green than he truly his, his whole body is actually the deep blue that shows in his fins, i dont know how many people ive had over and they think i had saltwater because of how vibrant his colors are

Sarah your male looks great I remember him as a tiny but greedy little guy keep up the good work growing him out.

yeah the back of the tank is black but this pic really does him no justice, hes way darker and bluer than in the pics, the flash makes him look like a light greenish color but hes really not (like the one is ira's avatar but even brighter/ darker blue), and thanks ira, yeah he is definitely still a greedy little bugger haha and rules my tank with an iron fist, when he is roaming about on his daily laps everyone knows to move out of his way lol.

ralph have you measured them lately? im just interested in seeing how mine is comparing growth wise to his siblings, he is bigger than the other ones i and a fellow member on here got but i think that's just because he came out as the dominant one, i def cant wait to see how big i can get this guy

 

[ralph3545g]

my male is about 5 inch and the female is almost 4 inches long . up to this point they've grow pretty quik .. these fish will be thick and big as mature adults , cant wait ...
