Thank you very much. Im glad you liked them! Yes, the female looks like the one you posted. Somewhat bigger spots and the black are not regular circles.
The tank has a footprint of 6 x 2 feet. Considering there also is a big leo-male in there, I will need to build a bigger tank soon!
The marbles are wild-caught. The white on the males tale is some sort of spine-protection. Not the usual plastic tube. I think Ill leave it until it falls of.
They already show some good appetite! Maybe I'll get pups some day!
Thats a peice of a net. The barb probably got caught in the net as the fish was being netted so they had to cut that peice off as its nearly impossible to get the mesh off the barb once it penetrates.
