Stunning! I'm lucky to find the reds around here, but the greens are something else

CONGRATS and good luck w/the little ones

Awesome fish! They look so wild but are so gentle.... Well like you said, per CA standard

How do you sex these guys - by spots above the mid-lateral line?

That is awesome news!! Great job, they look really good too

Thanks, I see the reds occasionally but yeah these guys are hardy ever seen around here

Thanks man, I agree!
Yep, no split fins, missing scales nothing, went really well.

The female doesn't have very many spots on her tail or like you said above the lateral line. She also seems to have a series of dark blotches below her dorsal and richer reds in the fins.

Plus their tubes dropped within a few hours so that was a quick give away

That is awesome news!! Great job, they look really good too

Thank ya
