Fast becoming my favorite fish among my new arrivals. I wish I had a better camera so I could catch this little guy (or gal, not sure yet) flaring at its tankmates. When it does the stripes get darker and the other colors more intense. The oranges and blues are really starting to pop!! Sorry for some blurry pics, the best I can do ATM...

Thanks for the props. I recieved 3 of them and this one is the biggest and most dominant. It seems a little aggro but there is an escondido in with it that is the top dog ATM.

this was my biggest 1! :D

he was a menace to his society :ROFL:
How big was he?? Im not worried in the least with one of these being a menace. They will end up being the runts of this community. The dominant carpintis, who Im calling ''El Jefe"" (the boss) is the one that has me a little concerned. Atm he is the boss with the mac a step under. Im sure that when the beanis get a little bigger itll be a different story.....

this 1 was about 5 or maybee 5 and a half inches,all it used to do was swim around my tank and pick on anything that crossed its path!:grinno: and to be honest with you the 1 in the pic and my other 1 used to fight like hell to, i think i had them for about 3 weeks and it was game over for me, i tryed separating them in different tanks 4 a week and introducing them bk into the community, but they just carried on doing what they done best in the first place,so i sold them on i was really gutted to because they are an amaizing fish with real gd coulors.
hope it all goes well for you tho :D
