    I became so tempted at a Petshop in Plumstead this evening that I walked out with 7 females and 6 crown males and they look beautiful. You might laugh after finding out about crown tails. My impression was that they have been fighting and that is way their fins look so dismantle. LOL

    My current female seems to be in love with all these males she is acting like a call girl "pros". The other females are just swimming and inspecting their new surroundings.

    Will be setting-up my other tanks over the next few weekends, hope to set-up before the Super 15 Rugby starts then it is working every weekend.
