Thanks.....unsure of what I want to do with her later. I can breed her with him, start anow ugly line....make it pretty later. I like the idea of a male midas.

That's a jack Dempsey not a carpintis.

Wonder no more haha. When you cross things to jd you get a lot of overly long bodied grey fish. Might have one you want to grow out but the majority will be grey nasty looking things.

Lololol noooo not that. Wondered whether it was really a Carpintis. It's growing super slow.
