Beautiful pictures and fish, as always Nutty. However I thought you ditched the Pearsei a few months back?

The fish is a bit more green, it's just how the light is catching the scales.

Thanks, i've always found pearsei to be quick growers. These are 5 months old.

Very nice fish especially the regani, and it appears to be a female. Are they originally come from Don Conkel?
Thats interesting. I assumed the fish to be male of the two i have.
I'll have to put a photo up of the two fish together. I thought that the fish was male because:

This fish is a lot larger and thicker, the fish also has a much more extended dorsal fin. Also the two fish show signs of pre spawning, tail slapping and head shaking. The photo shows the possible male during that procedure, that kinda explains the pale colour and faded black blotch.

They are from a Don Conkel shipment. What makes you think it may be a female.:)

Thanks for all the comments guys.
