Looking gorgeous - none of mine have obvious colour differences yet as far as I can tell. The tank is very tanin stained though and as i say the fish hide a lot so not entirely sure!

Look like they could almost be slender enough to be wormy barb food, i'd be far to worried about that happening!

food is hilraki red cichlid pellet's, chopped prawn's, dried bloodworm, earthworm pellet's, feed random, one day yes two day's no then maybe two day's yes,miss a few day's,then a few day's of feeding

Pretty similar diet and schedule to mine, apart from the earthworm pellets

All over, various shops, bought them online, all sorts really. They're pretty easy to get (and completely legal) in the UK.

Yes it does. Or did, that is actually about 70% healed.

It was purely nutritional. Whilst it was younger it refused to eat anything apart from lancefish, and even with pellets tucked in the lancefish it would carefully spit the pellets out. One day it decided to try something else, and since then the hith has been improving slowly but surely, a lot of the holes are still there, but they have nearly all skinned over with normal coloured skin instead of red and raw, and the holes are shrinking, the lateral line holes have nearly gone now.
