My pleasure. I suppose I'm like a kid with a new(ly rediscovered) toy ...

Awesome ... beautiful fish ...

And spawning now are a group of L. sp. Hongi 'Deluxe,' which is just another name for SRT, but out of Germany. They're the best strain I've kept. Ridiculous coloration, at 2" or so, give or take.
(Best in what way ?)
I rehomed two really beautiful S. fryeri males yesterday. To catch them I had to remove the rocks from the 55G tank they were in (with the adult yellow labs) ... so the tank got rearranged, did a pwc, etc.
This morning when I went to feed that tank one of the yellow labs was holding ...

The S. fryeri were from a group of 6 I got awhile back ... two of them colored up, but 3 were larger than the others. This past week the one larger one that hadn't colored up started to show some color. I'm hoping I guessed right (in getting rid of the two males that were colored up) and that this "late bloomer" is really a male.
