    Thank you Cheryl, the tank will be a year old on the 27th.

    Sticksmith, if you got the room, do it! :) Just make sure you don't get 2 males or one that is morphing. I originally ordered 1 male and 3 female, but had to sell one to a friend, because she/he was morphing into a male. But I asked around and most folks that have had them in the past said a trio should work fine, if not better than having an even number.

    One of my favorite fish by far. If I ever get a bigger tank they will be the first fish I get. I just love the coloration and the swimming patterns. I wish they did not eat so much but it is what it is.

    I only got them because of the high success of running Ecobak this past year and never having phosphates higher than 0.06ppm, no matter how heavy I feed.

    Wow Dowtish, beautiful all around. Love that trio. I think they are gorgeous. Those are ones I will probably only be able drool over in other's tanks as I am not around enough to feed them properly.

    And damn that tank looks good...
