This thread is awesome, keep up the good work!
I'm sure you have seen the pic of my FM when it was 2" or so. Well it probably wasn't stunted since it is well over 3" now! :)
It doesn't have as much red as yours but I actually haven't seen a FM in my life with such insane blue and orange spangling in the fins, and it also has a great light grey on the body.
If you want, I can post a pic tomorrow.
By the way, the Ellioti x Meeki hybrid is awesome! How is its behaviour, since IME Ellioti seem to be more agressive than Meeki?
Thanks

Yeah post away...

The Hybrid was starting to bully the normal Firemouths so I removed them... hes now sharing with a Female Salvini and Male Electric Blue Dempsey
 
I just picked up a 6" male off of craigslist...he was free and I had spare tank space. Really like this guy and he is getting to be one of my favorites. When I got him, his eyes were cloudy due to the tank he was in. I will take some better pics of him when I get home tonight as his colors have gotten even better. He had really long trailers when I put him in my tank...

Thanks, yeah, if the red comes through more when he gets older, he'll be an absolute stunner.
