Amazing istanlums

Can't wait to see when the fry swimming.... that's when things start to get really interesting and the Male gets an intense yellow with black back with black eyes (quite similiar looking to the female)... and is a real nasty piece of work.

Colors intensifying

 

[Cyberman]

You can see here how the colors of the male have intensified to a much richer Yellow as the fry become more active... I'm gonna have to remove those young Dovii as soon as the fry become free swimming. Don't want to disturb the tank while the fry are still very vunerable.
