Gav Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 these guys were trying to spawn today and this is one of the pics we got of him. not a hugely well known fish, but very spectacular once they hit some size. the head on one iw asnt as happy with, but it really starts to show off the awesome colour he gets on his throat and pectorals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViS Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Nice work I'm glad I didn't sell my colony. They are a good looking, active fish. They never get skittish or try to hide. They eat from your fingers too (more like "mug" your fingers to get to the food ) I've only ever had a single male in with 14 girls, and as Gav kindly told me, they do much better when there are a few males in a colony. My boy only occasionally looks as good as the pic of Gav's. Most of the time he looks like he does below. With more boys, they should keep their colour up. Once I add the two boys tomorrow, I'll try and get some more pics They are hard to get good pics of. The best effort I've come up with so far (not that I've taken many of them, and the flash washes out a lot of colour): Gav, you've given me inspiration to get the camera out again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best effort I've come up with so far (not that I've taken many of them, and the flash washes out a lot of colour I have also found that happens andy, my male looks much better in real life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
