Same fish as in the first post showing the side views. Aquarium lights dull the color somewhat.

I placed a new LED fixture over the 90 and these fish look absolutely gorgeous under this light. As you can see they are not use to the light. The fish really are that red.

Pretty fish Pat. She needs to have babies :)

[Second Hand Pat]

Too young Len and it is a bossy little fish.

[Len]

She just has to find the right guy then she'll mellow out :)

Very nice fish Pat. I'm looking forward to mine reaching 16 months.

[Second Hand Pat]

Eddie, I am thinking most of your blues will nicely striated when they are 16 months.

Me too with the exception of 1 or 2. Should be interesting to see them transform. :)

[Second Hand Pat]

Eddie, you need some females and those without are most likely them.
