Additional Information Miscellaneous Information:
Pair was purchased from LiveAquaria.com site unseen - had a 50/50 shot. Hard to say that we had a pair given that we never saw the eggs hatch - could have even been a female mating with a female. Pair was given to a friend on 9-5-2006. No spawns were witnessed after the 2 in February.
