Cheers :)

Have a list of things I've always wanted but never wanted to put the money on lol. 

 

Bred something that made me a bit of money and allowed me to splash out a bit :)

 

They haven't bred yet, but are definitely showing signs.  Just waiting for the girl to fatten up a bit more. 

Not so sure on the fertility rate or health of fry with 2 leucistics so am still chasing a good sized normal girl as a back up.

And keep them lids secure bud, I lost a senagel couple months ago I had for 2 years through a small gap and water level slightly higher then normal.

Gorgeous fish once again!!

I almost didn't get them but would have been kicking myself if I didn't lol. 

They were advertised as Platinum but they definitely aren't but still cool.

Fingers and toes are crossed! :D

yes sure did, good stuff, so your building up a colony or a number of those ?
I've still got to contact that breeder, just finishing off new filter systems and re-organise colonies in tanks.

I already have 13 of them which were bought mailnly for display rather than for breeding.  I collected these eggs to take photos and in hopes of getting more males.
 
At the moment I only have 1 male to 12 females lol.
