syno321 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Actually that picture does not do them justice. I acquired some wild ones from Jeff Carmack back in the early 90s and when they bred both parents turned solid black with the crimson chest. Don't get hung up on the conditions, they are easy to keep and breed in any conditions as long as extremes are avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Mine are still smallish, but already showing a ton of greens and reds on their anal and caudal fins, as well as some really nice yellow and black on the dorsals...I am very happy to have got these...they are more impressive than I expected.

Qattarra Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I asked Henry at the time, he said the male is larger. Other than just enjoying mine, that's the extent of my knowledge of them lol. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 My breeding pair have a number of differences the mail is larger and has a pointed caudal fin. The female is a lot darker in breeding colors than the male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
