Heck yeah!! I really like that guy I can't wait til he's settled better in a couple months. Great looking male, and good luck with the pairing got my fingers crossed for ya

Awesome...Awesome spangling on him! I hope they pair off. I'm sure you'll keep a close eye on them when you drop the divider. I swear you get at least one new fish every week. Well at least it seems that way. Good luck!

SWEET! So how do you determine gender? Are you going by coloration?

 

[NOLAGT]

Thanks...I like this guy too. I wont drop the divider in this tank again (55gal). I probably got a head of my self last time. I will be moving them into a 125 soon and then I will pull it and watch. No more over night tho...not unless i see something promising.

I haven't gotten too many new really...just getting around to posting pics/vids of them. I have 17 tanks running...and ill be posting a few vids today.

Jeff sexed them...but at this size I think you can go off the spangles on the face. Actually when this male came out the bag he had bars like I had thought only females got. I will see if I have the vid still.

Wow! Love the color. I'm looking for a female for my male ornatum to pair up. This fish develop even better in the future.
