The lighting doesn't do these fish justice. Their the brightest orange I have seen on any fish.

Well 8 months on and I have my first spawn. Very nice tight nest and they haven't eaten any!

 

Decided to give a nest of these a go as I now have more time to look after them. Hatched these on Monday night 6/17/12.
