    The reds and coloured variety always pale out after a year at most.

    and then a cream colour. I don't know why I can't find a pic of that. Hmmm.

    He was actually kind of mean and chased the little one around a bit. He also mouthed a fuzzy one time when they were both going after the same piece of food. The fuzzy got it and like 5 seconds later the leaf grabbed his face. The fuzzy looked at him and was like "Wah? I'll let that slide once..... once."

    You won't know if they are compatible or not until you put the second one in. You can't tell the difference in males and females... but they can :)

    We had one "couple" go at it. You could tell they were two males by they way they puffed up... and they grabbed each others faces and pointed their spines at each other. When they kind of lay to their sides and point their dorsal... thems fightin' words.

    Just don't pay a premium price for the coloured... cause they will turn your non-premium colour in time.
