Piwows people, Piwows! If you do not know about this line, please just google it, you will not be disappointed. I swear, if I had somewhere to stick these in and my wife wouldn't kill me for it, I would bid $400 easy on these.

Possible pair??

Yes, the taller fish has been occasionally displaying to the rounder fish after daily WC. The potential is there, not proven by any means :)

Sorry tom I misread the rules I didn't want you to think you had a bid in if it couldn't be honored but I see you've been a member for a few months and Al approved. My oversight.

Hello all.
Just an update on the new cobalts. I have had them nearly a week look fantastic, Although still shy and not very hungry. already had a clutch of eggs we will see how far that goes .
Thank you for the kind words and all the information I have gained from reading the posts here on SD.
I wish I had found this years ago. I am looking forward to talking to more people and learning more.
Tom.
