young ebjds are hard to keep until they reach 3". you should look into a uv sterilizer to prevent intestinal parasites. i only bought one and lost it because of parasites. yours are beautiful. i must be the only one who likes the second one better. i think the gold spangles are going to make it an awesome fish. good pickup. my lfs has 3 for 75 each but i don't have any room left. i would end up homeless if i brought them home right before christmas anyway.
