I found these fish while just poking around at one of the LFS near me.  I decided to try and pair them up and see how it works.  They have been living in my other larval rearing BRT until I got the breeding system back up and running.  They have been hard to observe in the BRT but I have not noticed a ton of aggression.  Here are pics
